Performing Initial Connection and Configuration
NetScreen-5000 Series 27
Changing Your Admin Name and Password
Because all NetScreen products use the same admin name and password (netscreen), it
is highly advisable to change your admin name and password immediately. Enter the
following commands:
set admin name name_str
set admin password pswd_str
save
For information on creating different levels of administrators, see the NetScreen Concepts
& Examples ScreenOS Reference Guide.
Setting Port and Interface IP Addresses
Through the CLI, you can execute commands that set IP address and subnet mask values
for most of the physical interfaces.
Viewing Current Interface Settings
To begin the configuration process, it is advisable to view existing port settings by
executing the following command:
get interface
This command displays current port names, IP addresses, MAC addresses, and other
useful information.
Setting the IP Address of the Management Interface
The default IP address and subnet mask settings for the MGT interface are 192.168.1.1
and 255.255.255.0, respectively. To access the MGT interface, you must change the IP
address and subnet mask of the MGT interface to match your current network. NetScreen
recommends using the MGT interface exclusively for out of band management.
To set the IP address of the MGT interface:
1. Choose an unused IP address within the current address range of your Local
Area Network.
2. Set the MGT interface to this unused IP address by executing the following
command:
set interface mgt ip ip_addr/mask
Note: The MGT interface is on the 5000-M or 5000-M2 management modules, which are
always in slot 1.
