Setting Up Management Access

This chapter discusses how to access the system to manage it. Managing your
router includes both configuring and monitoring it. For basic information on
the management of the system, see JUNOSe System Basics Configuration Guide,
Chapter 4, Managing the System.
This chapter contains the following sections:

Before you power up the system, you must set up a management console (see
"Connecting to a Console Terminal" on page 58. The console allows you to
communicate with the system during the power-up process, set an IP address,
and manage the system using the command line interface (CLI).
The E-series router can be managed and monitored through a:
Console terminal: Connect a console (PC, Macintosh, or UNIX workstation)
directly to the system's RS-232 serial port.
Remote console: Connect 10/100Base-T port on the SRP I/O module to an
Ethernet network, and run Telnet from a remote console.
For initial access to the system, you need to physically connect your console
directly to the system's RS-232 port. This connection allows you to use the
CLI to set an IP address on the system. Once you configure the IP address,
you can access the system remotely (for example, via Telnet).
