Before You Start; Enter Configuration Mode - Juniper PTX10004 Hardware Manual

You must perform the initial configuration of the PTX10004 through the console port using the CLI or
through zero-touch provisioning (ZTP). To use ZTP to provision the device, you must have access to a
Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server, and a File Transfer Protocol (anonymous FTP), Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP), or Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server on which the software image and
configuration files are stored. For more information about using ZTP for provisioning the device, see
Understanding Zero Touch Provisioning
These procedures step you through the configuration of the PTX10004 using the console CONSOLE port
on the Routing and Control Board (RCB). For directions on connecting to a console server or a management
server, see "Connect a PTX10004 Router to a Management Console" on page
