Connecting and Configuring a J-EX Series Switch (CLI Procedure)
There are two ways to connect and configure a J-EX Series switch: one method is through
the console using the CLI and the other is using the J-Web interface. This topic describes
the CLI procedure.
NOTE: To run the EZSetup script, the switch must have the factory default
configuration as the active configuration. If you have configured anything on
the switch and want to run EZSetup, revert to the factory default
configuration. For instructions, see the Dell PowerConnect J-Series Ethernet
Switch Complete Software Guide for Junos OS at
http://www.support.dell.com/manuals
.
Before you begin connecting and configuring a J-EX Series switch through the console
using the CLI:
• Set the following parameter values in the console server or PC:
•
Baud Rate—9600
•
Flow Control—None
•
Data—8
• Parity—None
• Stop Bits—1
•
DCD State—Disregard
To connect and configure the switch from the console:
1.
Connect the console port to a laptop or PC using the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter.
The RJ-45 cable and RJ-45-to-DB-9 serial port adapter are supplied with the switch,
and the console port is located on the front panel of the switch.
2.
At the Junos OS shell prompt root% , type ezsetup .
3.
Enter the hostname. This is optional.
4.
Enter the root password you plan to use for this device. You are prompted to re-enter
the root password.
5.
Enter
yes
to enable services like Telnet and SSH. By default, Telnet is not enabled and
SSH is enabled.
NOTE: When Telnet is enabled, you are not able to log in to a J-EX Series
switch through Telnet using
root
credentials. Root login is allowed only
for SSH access.
