Starting the J-Web Interface

Note: On SRX210, SRX240, and SRX650 devices, the maximum number of concurrent Web sessions is as follows: SRX240 5

To start the J-Web interface:

1. Launch your HTTP-enabled or HTTPS-enabled Web browser.

   To use HTTPS, you must have installed the certificate provided by the device.

   Note: If the device is running the worldwide version of the JUNOS Software and you are using the Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser, you must disable the Use SSL 3.0 option in the Web browser to access the device.

2. After typing http:// or https:// in your Web browser, type the hostname or IP address of the device and press Enter.

   The J-Web login page appears.

3. On the login page, type your username and password, and click Log In.

   To correct or change the username or password you typed, click Reset, type the new entry or entries, and click Log In.

   Note: The default username is root with no password. You must change this during initial configuration or the system does not accept the configuration.

To explicitly terminate a J-Web session at any time, click Logout in the top pane.

J-Web Layout

The top pane of the J-Web user interface comprises the following elements:

• hostname–model—The hostname and model of the device are displayed in the upper-left corner.
• Logged in as: username—The username you used to log in to the device is displayed in the upper-left corner.
• Help—A link to context-sensitive Help information is available in the upper-right corner.
• About—A link to information about the J-Web interface, such as the version number, is available in the upper-right corner.
• Logout—The Logout link, which ends your current login session and returns you to the login page, is available in the upper-right corner.
• Taskbar—A menu of J-Web tasks is displayed as tabs across the tob of the J-Web user interface. Select a J-Web task to access it.
  • Dashboard— Displays the information of the system.
  • Configure—Configure the device and view configuration history.
  • Monitor—View information about configuration and hardware on the device.
  • Maintain—Manage files and licenses, upgrade software, and reboot the device.
  • Troubleshoot—Troubleshoot network connectivity problems.

The main pane of the J-Web user interface includes the following elements to help you configure the device:

• Red asterisk (*)—A red asterisk is displayed next to all required fields.
• Help (?) icon—The Help icon displays useful information when you move the cursor over the question mark. This Help displays field-specific information, such as the definition, format, and valid range of the field.

The left pane of the J-Web user interface displays subtasks related to the selected task in the J-Web taskbar.

Getting J-Web Help

To get Help in the J-Web interface, use the following methods:

• Field-sensitive Help—Move the cursor over the question mark (?) next to the field for which you want more information. The system displays useful information about the field. Typically, this Help includes one line of information about what this field does or what you must enter in a given text box. For example, Help for the Peer Autonomous System Number text box states, “the value should be a number between 1 and 65535.”
• Context-sensitive Help—Click Help in the taskbar to open a separate page displaying the summary of all the fields on that page. To exit Help, close the page. You can navigate Help pages using hypertext links connecting related topics, or click the following options (if available) at the top and bottom of each page.
  • Prev—Access the previous page.
  • Next—Access the next page.
  • Report an Error—Access a form for providing feedback.
