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 5, 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 49.) You use the console to communicate
with the system during the power-up process, set an IP address, and manage the system
using the command-line interface (CLI).
You can monitor and manage the router through either of these methods:
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 IOA 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. Through this connection you use the CLI to set an IP address
on the system. After you configure the IP address, you can access the system remotely
(for example, via Telnet).
