Configure the Management Ethernet Interface

The router's management Ethernet interface, fxp0, is an out-of-band management interface. You must configure an IP address and prefix length for this interface, which you commonly do when you first install the software:

 [edit]
 user@host# set interfaces fxp0 unit 0 family inet address address/prefix-length
 [edit]
 user@host# show
 interfaces {
 	 fxp0 {
 	 	 unit 0 {
 	 	 family inet {
 	 	 	 address address/prefix-length;
 	 	 }
 	 }
 }
 

  

  

    
 





    


   The management Ethernet interface must be configured for the router to function.
