J-series Services Router Quick Start
Basic Connection and Configuration with the J-Web Interface
For J-Web access, you connect from your management PC or laptop to the Services
Router through one of the built-in Ethernet interfaces. The examples in this
document use port 0. (For information about the J-Web interface, see “J-Web
Basics” on page 13.)
1. Connecting, Logging In, and Starting the J-Web Interface
When the Services Router is powered on for the first time, it looks for a DHCP
server, and if it does not find one, it assigns an IP address within the
192.168.1.0/24
subnetwork to any devices connected to it.
To connect to the J-Web interface through port 0/0 on the router:
1.
On the management device, such as a PC or laptop, you use to access the J-Web
interface, verify that the address of the port that you connect to the router is set
to one of the following:
!
An Ethernet address on the
192.168.1/24
subnetwork other than
192.168.1.1
!
An Ethernet address from a DHCP server
2.
Turn off the power to the management device.
3.
Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the management
device.
4.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the built-in Ethernet port on the
router.
5.
Power on the router by pressing the power button on the front panel.
6.
Wait until the
STATUS
LED on the front panel turns solid green.
7.
Turn on the power to the management device. The router assigns an IP address
to the management device within the
192.168.1/24
subnetwork if the device is
configured to use DHCP.
8.
From the management device, open a Web browser and enter the IP address
192.168.1.1
in the address field. The Set Up Quick Configuration page appears.
9.
Configure basic settings for your router as described in 4. Configuring Basic
Settings with J-Web Quick Configuration on page 8.
NOTE:
You must manually configure the IP address for the management port you
are using before you save your initial configuration. When you save the
configuration for the first time, the DHCP lease is lost and you will lose the
connection to the router if you have not manually configured the IP address. If you
lose connection through the management interface, you must connect through the
console port.
