Performing Initial Connection and Configuration
Entering yes instructs the NetScreen-5000 Series system to start running the
new ScreenOS firmware.
Because all Juniper Networks security products use the same admin name and
password (netscreen), it is highly advisable to change your admin name and
password immediately. Enter the following commands:
set admin name name_str
set admin password pswd_str
save
For information on creating different levels of administrators, refer to the Concepts
& Examples ScreenOS Reference Guide.
Through the CLI, you can use commands that set IP address and subnet mask
values for most of the physical interfaces.
Viewing Current Interface Settings
To begin the configuration process, it is advisable to view existing port settings with
the following command:
get interface
This command displays current port names, IP addresses, MAC addresses, and
other useful information.
Setting the IP Address of the Management Interface
The default IP address and subnet mask settings for the MGT interface are
192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0, respectively. To access the MGT interface, you
must change the IP address and subnet mask of the MGT interface to match your
current network. We recommend using the MGT interface exclusively for
out-of-band management.
The MGT interface is on the management module, which is always in slot 1.
To set the IP address of the MGT interface:
1. Choose an unused IP address within the current address range of your LAN.
2. Set the MGT interface to this unused IP address with the following command:
set interface mgt ip ip_addr/mask
For example, to set the IP address and subnet mask of the MGT interface to
10.100.2.183 and 16, respectively:
set interface mgt ip 10.100.2.183/16
