4. Push the cord into the slot in the adjustment nut of the power cord retainer. Turn the

nut until it is snug against the base of the coupler and the slot in the nut is turned 90°
from the top of the switch.

5. If the power source outlet has a power switch, set it to the off (

0

) position.

6. Insert power cord plug into the power source outlet.
7. If the power source outlet has a power switch, set it to the on (

|

) position.

Part 3: Perform Initial Configuration

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, you must revert the switch to the factory-default configuration. See the EX 
Series documentation at https://www.juniper.net/documentation for reverting to 
factory-default configuration.
To connect and configure the switch from the management host:
1. Set the following values on the management host: baud rate—9600; flow

control—none; data—8; parity—none; stop bits—1; DCD state—disregard.

2. Connect the console port to the management host by using the Ethernet cable with

an RJ-45 connector attached and the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter.

NOTE: 

You can also use the mini-USB port to connect the switch to the management 

host (see the EX Series documentation at www.juniper.net/documentation).
3. At the Junos OS shell prompt root%, type 

EZSetup

.

4. (Optional) Enter the hostname.
5. Enter the root password that you want to use for the switch. Reenter the root

password when prompted.

6. Enable services such as SSH and Telnet.

NOTE: 

You will not be able to log in to the switch as the 

root

 user through Telnet. Root 

login is allowed only through SSH.
7. Use the Management Options page to select the management scenario:

In-band Management

—Use the automatically created 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 a new VLAN for management.

Select this option to create a management VLAN. Specify the VLAN name, VLAN 
ID, management IP address, and default gateway for the new VLAN. Select the 
ports that must be part of this VLAN.

Out-of-band Management

—Configure the management port.

Select this option to configure only the management interface. Specify the IP 
address and default gateway for the management interface.

8. (Optional) Specify the SNMP read community, location, and contact to configure

SNMP parameters.

9. (Optional) Specify the system date and time. Select the time zone from the list.
10. The configured parameters are displayed. Enter 

yes

 to commit the configuration. The

configuration is committed as the active configuration for the switch.

You can now log in by using the CLI to continue configuring the switch.

Safety Warnings Summary

This is a summary of safety warnings. For a complete list of warnings, including 
translations, see the EX Series documentation at http://www.juniper.net/documentation/.

WARNING:

 Failure to observe these safety warnings can result in personal injury 

or death.

z

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

z

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

z

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

z

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

z

Mounting an EX2300 switch in a rack requires one person to lift the switch and a 
second person to install the mounting screws.

z

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

z

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

z

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

z

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 power cord provided with the switch is only for this product. Do not use this cable for 
another product.
