-
From the web console, log into the Apstra server (user: admin, password:
admin).
-
The first time you boot the Apstra server VM, a configuration tool opens to
assist you. (To open this tool at any time, run the command
aos_config
).
-
If you haven't changed the default password for user admin you're
prompted to change it.
CAUTION:
We highly recommend that you change default passwords. User admin
has full root access. Juniper is not responsible for security-related
incidents because of not changing default passwords.
-
Select Yes, and follow the prompts to enter a strong
password that doesn't contain the current username in any form and that has a
minimum of fourteen characters, one uppercase character, and one digit.
-
After you've changed the password, you're prompted to start Apstra service.
Select Yes. When service is up and running click
OK. The main menu appears.
-
You updated default local credentials in the previous steps. To change the
password again at any time, select Local credentials in
the configuration tool and follow the prompts.
-
Select WebUI credentials and change the default password
for the Apstra web GUI user admin. (Service must be up and running to
change the Asptra web GUI password. If service is stopped, proceed to step 9 and
start service.)
- The network is configured to use DHCP by default. To assign static IP addresses instead, select
Network, change it to Manual,
and provide the following:
- (Static Management) IP address in CIDR format (for example,
192.168.0.10/24)
- Gateway IP address
- Primary DNS
- Secondary DNS (optional)
- Domain
-
Apstra service is stopped by default. To start and stop Apstra service, select
AOS service and select Start
or Stop, as appropriate. Starting service from this
configuration tool invokes
/etc/init.d/aos
, which is the
equivalent of running the command service aos start
.
-
To exit the configuration tool and return to the CLI, select
Cancel from the main menu.
