Part 4: Perform Initial Configuration

NOTE: 

To obtain an IP address dynamically, you must enable a DHCP client on the 

management PC you connect to the switch.

1.

To transition the switch into initial setup mode, use the 

Menu

 and 

Enter

 buttons to 

the right of the LCD panel on the front panel of the switch:

„

Press 

Menu

 until you see 

MAINTENANCE MENU

. Then press 

Enter

.

„

Press 

Menu

 until you see 

ENTER EZSetup

. Then press 

Enter

.

If EZSetup does not appear as an option in the Maintenance menu, select 

Factory 

Default 

to return the switch to the factory default configuration. EZSetup is displayed 

in the menu only when the switch is set to the factory default configuration.

„

Press 

Enter

 to confirm setup and continue with EZSetup.

The 

ge-0/0/0

 interface on the front panel of the switch is configured as the DHCP 

server with the default IP address, 

192.168.1.1

. The switch can assign an IP address 

to the management PC in the IP address range 

192.168.1.2

 through 

192.168.1.253

.

NOTE: 

You have 10 minutes from now to complete the initial configuration using EZSetup. 

After 10 minutes, the LCD panel displays a count-down timer and the switch exits EZSetup 
mode. The switch then reverts to the factory default configuration and loses connectivity 
to the PC. If connectivity is lost, disconnect the cable and start over from Part 4, Step 1.

2.

Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the PC, and connect the 
other end to port

0

 (

ge-0/0/0

) on the front panel of the switch.

3.

From the PC, open a Web browser, type 

http://192.168.1.1

 in the address field, and 

press the Enter key.

4.

On the Juniper Web Device Manager for IBM j-type Ethernet Login page, enter 

root

 as 

the username, leave the password field blank, and click 

Login

. On the Introduction 

page, click 

Next

.

5.

On the Basic Settings page, enter the hostname, enter and reenter a password, 
specify the time zone, and synchronize the switch date and time settings with the 
management PC or set them manually.

6.

Click 

Next

. Use the Management Options page to select the management scenario:

„

In-band Management

Use VLAN ‘default’ for management 

Select this option to configure all data interfaces as members of the default 
VLAN. Click 

Next

. Specify the management IP address and the default gateway. 

„

In-band Management

Create new VLAN for management

Select this option to create a management VLAN. Click 

Next

. Specify the VLAN 

name, VLAN ID, member interfaces, and management IP address and default 
gateway for the new VLAN. 

„

Out-of-band Management

Configure management port

Select this option to configure only the management interface. Click 

Next

Specify the IP address and default gateway for the management interface. 

7.

Click 

Next

. On the Manage Access page, you may select options to enable Telnet, 

SSH, and SNMP services. For SNMP, you can configure the read community, location, 
and contact.

8.

Click 

Next

. The Summary page displays the settings you have selected.

9.

Click 

Finish

. The configuration is committed as the active switch configuration. You 

can log in with the CLI or the Juniper Web Device Manager for IBM j-type Ethernet 
interface to configure the switch.

NOTE: 

After the configuration is committed, the connectivity between the PC and the 

switch might be lost. To reconnect, release and renew the IP address by executing the 
appropriate commands on the PC or by removing and reinserting the Ethernet cable.

Safety Warnings Summary

This is a summary of safety warnings. For a complete list of warnings, including 
translations, see the IBM Ethernet Switch J48E documentation at 

http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/networking

.

WARNING

:

 Failure to observe these safety warnings can result in serious physical injury.

„

Permit only trained and qualified personnel to install or replace switch components.

„

Perform only the procedures described in this quick start and the switch hardware 
documentation. Other services must be performed only by authorized personnel.

„

Before installing the switch, read the planning instructions in the hardware 
documentation to make sure that the site meets power, environmental, and clearance 
requirements for the switch.

„

Before connecting the switch to a power source, read the installation instructions in 
the hardware documentation.

„

If the switch is the only unit in the rack, mount it at the bottom of the rack. If the rack 
is partially filled, load the rack from the bottom, with the heaviest unit at the bottom.

„

If the rack has stabilizing devices, install them in the rack before mounting or 
servicing the switch in the rack.

„

A fully loaded IBM Ethernet Switch J48E weighs approximately 22 lb (10 kg). 
Manually installing the switch in a four-post rack requires lifting the switch, 
positioning it, and sliding it into the rack. To prevent injury, keep your knees bent and 
your back straight and avoid twisting your body. Lift with your legs, not your back.

„

Before installing or after removing an electrical component, always place it 
component-side up on a flat antistatic surface or in an electrostatic bag.

„

Do not work on the switch or connect or disconnect cables during electrical storms.

„

Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry, 
including rings, necklaces, and watches. Metal objects heat up when connected to 
power and ground and can cause serious burns or become welded to the terminals.

Power Cable Warning (Japanese).

 The 

attached power cable is only for this product. 

Do not use this cable for another product.
