Performing the Initial Configuration

Configuring the JUNOS Internet Software

Configuring the JUNOS Internet Software
The router is shipped with the JUNOS Internet software preinstalled and ready to be
configured when the router is powered on. There are three copies of the software:
one on a nonrotating flash drive in the Routing Engine, one on a rotating hard disk
in the Routing Engine, and one on a PC card that can be inserted into the slot in the
Routing Engine faceplate.
When the router boots, it first attempts to start the image on the PC card. If a PC
card is not inserted into the Routing Engine or the attempt otherwise fails, the router
next tries the flash drive, and finally the hard disk.
You configure the router by issuing JUNOS command-line interface (CLI) commands,
either on a console device attached to the CONSOLE port on the Routing Engine, or
over a telnet connection to a network connected to the MGMT port on the Routing
Engine.
Gather the following information before configuring the router:
Name the router will use on the network
Domain name the router will use
IP address and prefix length information for the Ethernet interface
IP address of a default router
IP address of a DNS server
Password for the root user
