Basic Connection and Configuration with the CLI
For CLI access, you connect from your management PC or laptop to the Services
Router through the console port. (For information about the CLI, see "JUNOS CLI
Basics" on page 11.)
You are prompted for a username and password. The default username is root .
Because no password is initially required, press Enter at the password prompt for a
first-time login.
To access a Services Router with the JUNOS CLI:
1. Turn off power to the management PC or laptop.
2. Connect one end of the console cable to the serial port adapter, plug the
adapter into a serial port on the PC or laptop, and plug the other end of the
cable into the console port on the Services Router.
3. Turn on power to the PC or laptop.
4. On the PC or laptop, start the terminal emulation program (such as Microsoft
Windows HyperTerminal), select the COM port, and configure the following port
settings: 9600 (bits per second), 8 (data bits), none (parity), 1 (stop bits), and
(flow control).

5. Press the POWER button on the router, and verify that the POWER LED turns
green.
6. Log in as root , and press Enter at the Password prompt.
When you have been authenticated through the CLI, you enter the UNIX shell:
