Juniper SRX5400 - Initially Configuring the SRX5400 Services Gateway

You configure the services gateway by issuing Junos OS command-line interface (CLI) commands, either
on a console device attached to the CONSOLE port on the Routing Engine, or over a telnet connection
to a network connected to the ETHERNET port on the Routing Engine.
Gather the following information before configuring the device:
•
Name the device will use on the network
•
Domain name the device will use
•
IP address and prefix length information for the Ethernet interface
•
IP address of a default router
•
IP address of a DNS server
•
Password for the root user

OS configuration guides.
To configure the software:
1. Verify that the device is powered on.
2. Log in as the root user. There is no password.
3. Start the CLI.
root# cli
root@>
4. Enter configuration mode.

5. Set the root authentication password by entering either a cleartext password, an encrypted password,
or an SSH public key string (DSA or RSA).
