Junos : Configuring Basic Settings with the CLI

Configuring Basic Settings with the CLI

In CLI configuration mode, you use the set command to enable features, and the delete command to disable them. The commands you enter do not update the active configuration on the router until you use the commit command.

To configure basic settings with the CLI:

1. From the CLI, enter configuration mode:
   root> configure
   root#
2. Set the IP addresses of the built-in Ethernet ports. For example:
   root# set interfaces ge-0/0/0 unit 0 family inet address 1.1.2.31/24
   root# set interfaces ge-0/0/1 unit 0 family inet address 1.6.2.1/24
   root# set interfaces ge-0/0/2 unit 0 family inet address 2.8.3.1/24
   root# set interfaces ge-0/0/3 unit 0 family inet address 9.1.4.1/24
   The unit number is the logical interface number. IP addresses are configured on the logical interface. Setting the protocol family to inet specifies the routing table of IPv4 addresses.
3. Set a default route (default gateway) for IPv4 packets. For example:
   root# set routing-options static route 1.6.2.1/24 next-hop 10.1.1.50
4. Configure one or more static routes:
   root# set routing-options static route destination-prefix next-hop address
5. Set the hostname. For example:
   root# set system host-name Chicago
6. Save your configuration settings and activate them on the Services Router:
   root# commit
