Setting Up Basic System Connectivity

After Media Flow Controller is installed, follow these steps to set basic network connectivity. At
a minimum, you must assign eth0 an IP address; then the appliance can be remotely
accessed and configured.
To set up basic system connectivity on Media Flow Controller:
1. Log in as admin
There is no default password.
2. Enter configuration mode with these commands:
enable
configure terminal
3. Set the IP address, hostname, gateway, DNS server, and a domain list (to resolve
unqualified hostnames). Install licenses, if you have the license keys. Save the settings
when you are finished.
interface eth0 ip address <management_port_IP_address> <netmask>
hostname <hostname_for_machine>
ip default-gateway <gateway_server_IP_address>
ip name-server <DNS_server_IP_address>
ip domain-list <domain_name_for_resolving_hostnames> ...
ntp server <NTP_server_IP_address>
license install <license_key>
configuration write
4. As you have just changed the network information for your system, you must re-associate
Media Flow Controller with the interfaces. Either reboot (reload command) or enter this
command:
service restart mod_delivery
5. Display the software version. If you have installed licenses, check those, too.
show version
show license
6. Sanity check: From another machine attempt to ping each address, and open an SSH
session to the server as Admin.
To complete connecting the machine to your network, plug in the traffic ports Eth2, 3, 4, 5, and
configure with static IP addresses, or skip this step and hand off further configurations to your
system administrator.

You are now ready to begin configuring Juniper Networks Media Flow Controller or Media
Flow Manager. See the Juniper Networks Media Flow Controller Administrator's Guide and
CLI Command Reference or Media Flow Manager Administrator's Guide and CLI Command
Reference.

because they rely on the MAC address of an assigned interface and that interface changed. If
that is the case, you need to manually assign the interfaces; see
