Juniper Day One+ ACX7024 - Customize the Basic Configuration

Now that the ACX7024 is powered on, let’s do some inial conguraon to get it up and running on the network. It’s
simple to congure and manage the ACX7024 using the CLI.
Plug and Play
The ACX7024 router ships with factory-default sengs that enable plug-and-play operaon. These sengs load as
soon as you power on the router.
Customize the Basic Conguraon
You can easily customize the factory-default conguraon with just a few commands. Inially, you’ll need to make
changes through the console port. Aer you congure the management port, you can access the ACX7024 using SSH
and make addional conguraon changes. You can always revert to the factory-default conguraon whenever you
want.
Have the following informaon ready before you begin customizing the router:
• Hostname
• Root authencaon password
• Management port IP address
• Default gateway IP address
• IP address and prex length of remote prexes
• (Oponal) SNMP read community, locaon, and contact informaon
1. Verify that the following default serial port sengs are congured on your laptop or desktop PC:
• Baud Rate—9600
• Flow Control—None
• Data—8
• Parity—None
• Stop Bits—1
• DCD State—Disregard
2. Connect the console port on the ACX7024 to a laptop or desktop PC using the RJ-45 cable and RJ-45 to DB-9
adapter. The console (CON) port is the lower RJ-45 port on the le side of the port panel.
