Juniper Networks C4000, C2000 manual Configuring the Juniper Networks Database

C2000 and C4000 1.0.x Hardware Guide

You can monitor and manage the system through either of these methods:

■Console terminal—Connect a console (PC, Macintosh, or UNIX workstation) directly to the system's RS-232 serial port.

■Remote console—Connect 10/100Base-T port (ETH0) to an Ethernet network, and run SSH or Telnet from a remote console.

For initial access to the system, you need to physically connect your console directly to the system's RS-232 port. Through this connection you use the SRC command-line interface (CLI) to set the hostname and domain information. You can then access the system remotely (for example, by means of SSH).

To communicate with the system, you must have a terminal emulation program running on your PC or Macintosh. You can use any terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal. A UNIX workstation can use the emulator TIP.

To log in to the system:

1.Start your terminal emulation program using the following settings:

■Bits per second: 9600

■Data bits: 8

■Parity: None

■Stop bits: 1

■Flow control: none

2.Enter the username.

SRC-PE Release 7.0 [B.7.0.0-12] localhost login:root

3.Enter the password.

localhost password:password

---SRC CLI 7.0 build CLI.B.7.0.0.012

(c) 2005-2007 Juniper Networks Inc. root@localhost>

You are now logged in as root user.

Configuring the Juniper Networks Database

Each C-series platform contains a Juniper Networks database. The database stores SRC data, sample data, configuration information, and user profiles. You must enable the Juniper Networks database the first time you power on the system. It can operate as a standalone database or as a member of a community of Juniper Networks databases.
