# Configuring the System for Remote Access

To allow remote access to the system, you must configure the generic interfaces. You can specify an IP address with mask or a broadcast address with mask for an interface. For more information, see SRC PE Getting Started Guide, Chapter 7, Configuring Remote Access to a C Series Controller.

To configure the generic interfaces:

1. From configuration mode, access the configuration statement that configures the interface.
   `
   user@host# edit interfaces eth0
   `
2. Specify the unit, family, and IP address for the interface.
   `
   [edit interfaces eth0]
   user@host# set unit number family inet address address
   `

   For example, to configure an interface with only an IP address:

   `
   [edit interfaces eth0]
   user@host# set unit 0 family inet address 192.2.0.10/24
   `
3. (Optional) Specify the broadcast address for the interface.
   `
   [edit interfaces eth0]
   user@host# set unit number family inet broadcast broadcast
   `

   For example, to configure an interface with only a broadcast address:

   `
   [edit interfaces eth0]
   user@host# set unit 0 family inet broadcast 192.2.0.255
   `
4. Verify the interface configuration.
   `
   [edit interfaces eth0]
   user@host# show
   unit 0 {
   family {
     inet {
       broadcast 192.2.0.255;
     }
   }
   }
   `
   `
   `
