Generally when you install the JUNOS software, you configure the router from scratch
and at that point you configure the management interface (fxp0) with the IP address
and a user with full administrative privileges.
For information on configuring the router from scratch, see the JUNOS System Basics
Configuration Guide.
For step-by-step instructions on reconfiguring names, addresses, and the root password
after reinstalling the JUNOS software, see "Configure Names and Addresses" and "Set
the Root Password."

When your M-series or MX-series device and the NSM server are in different subnets, you
can install a static route on the device to connect to the NSM server. The static route is
installed in the routing table only when the route is active; that is, the list of next-hop
routers configured for that route contains at least one next hop on an operational interface.
To configure a static route, follow these steps:
Log on to the M-series or MX-series device and, in configuration mode, go to the
