Before you begin connecting and configuring an ACX7100-32C router, set the following parameter values on the console server or PC:

Baud Rate—9600
Flow Control—None
Data—8
Parity—None
Stop Bits—1
DCD State—Disregard

You must perform the initial configuration of the ACX7100-32C router through the console port using the command-line interface (CLI).

Connect the console port on the ACX7100-32C to a laptop or desktop PC using the RJ-45 cable and RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter. The console (CON) port is the lower RJ-45 port on the right side of the port panel.
Note:
We no longer include the RJ-45 console cable with the DB-9 adapter as part of the device package. If the console cable and adapter are not included in your device package, or if you need a different type of adapter, you can order the following separately:

RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-DB9)

RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-DB9)

RJ-45 to USB-C adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-USBC)

If you want to use RJ-45 to USB-A or RJ-45 to USB-C adapter you must have X64 (64-Bit) Virtual COM port (VCP) driver installed on your PC. See, https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/ to download the driver.
Note:
If your laptop or desktop PC doesn't have a serial port, use a serial-to-USB adapter (not provided).
At the Junos OS login prompt, type root to log in. You don't need to enter a password. If the software boots before you connect your laptop or desktop PC to the console port, you might need to press the Enter key for the prompt to appear.
```
login: root
```
Start the CLI.
```
root@% cli
```
Enter configuration mode.
```
root> configure
```
Stop the chassis auto-upgrade process
```
[edit]
root@# delete chassis auto-image-upgrade 
```
ZTP is enabled on the ACX7100-32C device in factory default configuration. You must stop ZTP before you proceed to configure any settings.
```
[edit]
root@# delete system commit factory-settings
```

Add a password for the root administration user account.

Retype new password: password

Commit the configuration.
```
[edit]
root@# commit
```

Wait for the ZTP process to exit. A message appears on the console, confirming that the ZTP process has stopped.

root@# set routing-options static route default next-hop address

Configure the IP address and prefix length for the management port on the router. On the ACX7100-32C, the management port is the upper RJ-45 port on the right side of the port panel and is labeled MGMT.
```
[edit]
root@# set interfaces re0:mgmt-0 unit 0 family inet address address/prefix-length
```
(Optional) Configure the static routes to remote prefixes with access to the management port.
```

root@# set routing-options static route remote-prefix next-hop destination-ip retain no-readvertise
```
Enable Telnet service, if needed.
```
[edit]
root@# set system services telnet 
```
Note:
When Telnet is enabled, you cannot log in to the ACX7100-32C through Telnet using root credentials. Root login is allowed only for SSH access.
Enable SSH service.
```
[edit]
root@# set system services ssh 
```
To allow users to log in to the router as root through SSH, include the root-login statement.
```
[edit system services ssh]
root@# root-login (allow | deny | deny-password)
```
Note:
By default, users are not allowed to log in to the router as root through SSH.
Commit the configuration. Your changes become the active configuration for the router.
```
[edit] 
root@# commit
```
