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.
