Setup Root User Credentials and Login to XR VM Console

Step 1
Connect a terminal to the XR VM console port of the RP.
Step 2 Start the terminal emulation program on your workstation.
The console settings are 115200 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.
Step 3 Power on the router.
Press the power switch up to turn on the power shelves. As the router boots up, you will see boot process details on the
console screen of the terminal emulation program.
Step 4 Press Enter.
When the system prompts you to enter the root-system username, it indicates that the boot process is complete. If the
prompt does not appear, wait for a while to give the router more time to complete the initial boot procedure, then press
Enter.
If the boot process fails, it may be because the pre-installed image on the router is corrupt. In this case, the

VM console and the XR VM management port can be accessed using these credentials.
