Perform the Initial Configuration for the PTX10008 Router

date_range 23-May-24

arrow_backward

arrow_forward

You must perform the initial configuration of the PTX10008 through the console port using the CLI or through Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP). In order to use ZTP to provision the device, you must have access to a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server, and a File Transfer Protocol (anonymous FTP), Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), or Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server on which the software image and configuration files are stored. For more information about using ZTP for provisioning the device, see Understanding Zero Touch Provisioning in the Software Installation and Upgrade Guide.

These procedures step you through the configuration of the PTX10008 using the console CON|CONSOLE port on the Routing and Control Board (RCB). For directions on connecting into a console server or a management server, see Connect a PTX10008 Router to a Management Console.

Before You Start

Set the following values on the console server or PC:
- Baud Rate—9600
- Flow Control—None
- Data—8
- Parity—None
- Stop Bits—1
- DCD State—Disregard
Gather the information you will need for configuring the PTX10008:
- The password you’ll set for the root user
- The name on the system that the PTX10008 will be known as (host name)
- The IP address and prefix of the default gateway router
- The IP address and prefix length information for the Ethernet interface
- The IP address and prefix length of remote prefixes

Enter Configuration Mode

Check that the PTX10008 has power.
Connect the console port to a laptop or PC using an RJ-45 cable and RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter. The console (CON) port is located on the port panel of the router.
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 USB-A adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-USBA)

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.
Log in as root. There is no password. If the software booted before you connected to the console port, you might need to press the Enter key for the prompt to appear.
```
Amnesiac <ttyd0>
login: root
```
Start the CLI.
```
root@% cli
```
Enter configuration mode.
```
root> configure
```

Establish a Root Password and Optional Host Name

Add a password to the root administration user account.

content_copy zoom_out_map
[edit]
root@# set system root-authentication plain-text-password
New password: password
Retype new password: password

(Optional) Configure the name of the router. If the name includes spaces, enclose the name in quotation marks (“ ”).
```
[edit]
root@# set system host-name host-name
```

Configure the Default Gateway and Ethernet Interface

Configure the default gateway.

For Junos OS system:

content_copy zoom_out_map
[edit]
root@# set routing-options static route default next-hop address

For Junos OS Evolved system:

content_copy zoom_out_map
[edit]
root@# set system management-instance
root@# set routing-instances mgmt_junos routing-optins static route prefix/prefix-length next-hop default-gateway-ip-address

Configure the IP address and prefix length for the router management interface.
- For Junos OS system:
  [edit] root@# set interfaces em0 unit 0 family inet address ip-address/prefix-length
- For Junos OS Evolved system:
  [edit] root@# set interfaces re0:mgmt-0 unit 0 family inet address ip-address/prefix-length
CAUTION:
Though the CLI permits you to configure two management Ethernet interfaces within the same subnet, only one interface is usable and supported.

Note:
The management ports, em0 or re0:mgmt-0 for RJ-45 connections (labeled MGMT) and em1 for fiber connections (also labeled MGMT), are found on the front of the RCBs.

Configure Optional Routes, Services, and Commit the Configuration

(Optional) Configure the static routes to remote prefixes with access to the management port.
```
[edit]
root@# set routing-options static route remote-prefix next-hop destination-ip retain no-readvertise
```
Enable services such as SSH and Telnet.
Note:
You will not be able to log in to the router as the root user through Telnet. Root login is allowed only through SSH.
```
[edit]
root@# set system services telnet
```
Commit the configuration to activate it on the router.
```
[edit] 
root@# commit
```
