I am building a system that automatically configures Juniper and Cisco switches from the console based on user input from a web UI. I will have a full-time console connection to these devices; however, on occasion the server must be rebooted... thus forcing the system to respawn the console connections.
I want to set up the console access to my Juniper EX4500 without a password; however, my attempts so far at doing this haven't been successful.
I tried...
set system authentication-order [] ports console insecure
set system authentication-order [] ports console type vt100
I still get prompted for a password when I make the console connection. If this was a Cisco, it would be fairly easy; however, I can't seem to find the right JunOS magic.
I realize I could just add some code to authenticate via console, but I'd really like to bypass this if possible. Security is not a concern in this situation.
How can I remove password authentication from the console of my Juniper EX4500?
