Configuring the JUNOS Software

The services gateway is shipped with the JUNOS software preinstalled and ready to
be configured when the device is powered on. There are three copies of the software:
one on a CompactFlash card (if installed) in the Routing Engine, one on the hard disk
in the Routing Engine, and one on a USB flash drive that can be inserted into the slot
in the Routing Engine faceplate.
When the device boots, it first attempts to start the image on the USB flash drive. If
a USB flash drive is not inserted into the Routing Engine or the attempt otherwise
fails, the device next tries the CompactFlash card (if installed), and finally the hard
disk.
You configure the services gateway by issuing JUNOS command-line interface (CLI)
commands, either on a console device attached to the CONSOLE port on the Routing
Engine, or over a telnet connection to a network connected to the ETHERNET port
on the Routing Engine.
Gather the following information before configuring the device:
Name the device will use on the network
Domain name the device will use
IP address and prefix length information for the Ethernet interface
IP address of a default router
IP address of a DNS server
Password for the root user
This procedure connects the device to the network but does not enable it to forward
traffic. For complete information about enabling the device to forward traffic, including
examples, see the appropriate JUNOS software configuration guides.
To configure the software:
Verify that the device is powered on, as described in "Powering On an
