Services Routers Hardware Guide

Chapter 6
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. If you
are setting up many Services Routers, autoinstallation can help automate the
configuration process. For more information, see the JUNOS Software Administration
Guide.
This chapter contains the following topics. For more information about basic
connectivity, see the JUNOS System Basics Configuration Guide.
