CHAPTER 3 Installing Media Flow Controller with a CD or USB
completely useful, based on the internal PCI hardware address that each device uses. The
most important port to name is eth0, because that port name must be used to access the
Web-based Management Console, and for SSH to get to the command line interface (CLI).
Juniper Networks suggests that the built-in ports use single digits, and for each add-in card,
use numbers that start with multiples of ten. For example, if the first add-in card is a 4-port
card, then use 10, 11, 12 and 13, and if the second add-in card is a 2-port card, then use 20
and 21.
After the first phase of the installation is done, the installation procedure offers four options to
help you correctly identify and name your Ethernet interfaces:
•
"Flash Ethernet Port LEDs, Ethernet Naming Option 3" on page 26
•
"Configure Ethernet Names Interactively, Ethernet Naming Option 4" on page 27
•
"Specify Devices to Use For eth0 and eth1, Ethernet Naming Option 5" on page 29
•
"Reset Ethernet Device Naming Back to Default, Ethernet Naming Option 6" on page 31
Important!
MAC address of the eth0 interface. If you already have a license that is tied to a MAC address,
ensure that the correct interface is made eth0, or your license will not work.
Flash Ethernet Port LEDs, Ethernet Naming Option 3
If you are at the machine console, you can see which ports have been assigned what by
pressing 3 (Flash Ethernet Port LEDs) during the installation.
Option 3 does not provide a way to make the assignments; to make the assignments you need
to use option 4 or option 5.
The flashing of the port LEDs works on most Ethernet devices; if there is a problem, a

warning is displayed.
Example:
Enter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 : 3
Flashing eth leds in this order:
0000:01:00.0,00:15:17:8A:49:90,eth0
0000:01:00.1,00:15:17:8A:49:91,eth1
0000:04:00.0,00:13:72:3C:33:56,eth10
0000:05:00.0,00:13:72:3C:33:57,eth11
Flashing each for 3 seconds, then a 6 second pause, for 3 times

Flashing eth0
Flashing eth1
Flashing eth10
Flashing eth11
Pause
Loop 2
Flashing eth0

Enter 1 to Reboot to complete the installation.
Enter 2 to Halt. Installation will continue when rebooted.
Enter 3 to Flash ethernet port LEDs.
