Chapter 7

Establishing Basic Connectivity

The JUNOS software is preinstalled on the Services Router. When the router is powered on, it is ready to be configured. If the router does not have a configuration from the factory or your service provider, you must configure the software to establish basic connectivity.

If you are setting up a Services Router for the first time, you can use either J-Web Quick Configuration or a configuration editor to configure basic connectivity. For a brief explanation of J-Web Quick Configuration and the J-Web and CLI configuration editors, see “Services Router User Interface Overview” on page 81.

If you are setting up many Services Routers, autoinstallation can help automate the configuration process. For more information about autoinstallation, see the J-series Services Router Administration Guide.

This chapter contains the following topics. For more information about basic connectivity, see the JUNOS System Basics Configuration Guide.
