Configuring Basic Settings with a Configuration Editor

To establish basic connectivity on a Services Router, you identify the router, connect the router to the network, and specify basic network settings.

In a typical network, the Services Router has the basic settings listed in

Table 62 on page 147. Determine the values to set on the Services Router in your network.

You can configure basic settings in the J-Web interface from a device attached to the ge-0/0/0interface on port 0. For instructions, see “Connecting to the J-Web Interface” on page 137. You can also connect to the CLI to configure basic settings. For instructions, see “Connecting to the CLI Locally” on page 139 and “Connecting to the CLI Remotely” on page 141.

To use a configuration editor to configure basic settings:

1.Navigate to the top of the configuration hierarchy in either the J-Web or CLI configuration editor.
