3.

At the 

Password

 prompt, type the default switch password 

admin

 and press Enter.

4.

At the prompt that appears, type 

enable

 and press Enter. 

5.

Type 

configure terminal

 and press Enter. 

6.

Configure the management port with an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. For 
example:

ex2500(config)# 

interface ip-mgmt address 10.10.10.2

ex2500(config)# 

interface ip-mgmt netmask 255.255.255.0

ex2500(config)# 

interface ip-mgmt enable

ex2500(config)# 

interface ip-mgmt gateway 10.10.10.1

ex2500(config)# 

interface ip-mgmt gateway enable

ex2500(config)# 

exit

You can now connect to the management (MGMT) port over a network and use Telnet 
from an external management station to access and control the switch through the 
EX2500 command-line interface (CLI). For instructions, see the 

EX2500 Ethernet Switch 

Configuration Guide

Part 4: Basic Troubleshooting

System LEDs do not light

Symptom:

 The SYS and FAN LEDs do not light.

Solution:

 

Verify that the power cord or cords are properly connected to the power plug or 

plugs. Verify that AC power is available from the power source.

Temperature sensor warning

Symptom:

 A temperature warning is displayed on the management console.

Solution:

 

1.

Verify that the air circulation vents on the front and back of the switch are free from 
obstruction by cables, panels, rack frames, and other materials.

2.

Make sure all cooling fans inside the switch are running. The FAN LED blinks to 
indicate a failure of one or more fans.

3.

Use the 

show sys-info

 command to display fan status. If any fan stops during switch 

operation, contact Juniper Networks technical support.

4.

If necessary, cool the room to a lower temperature or provide a fan for greater air 
circulation.

Switch does not initialize (boot)

Symptom:

 All switch LEDs stay lit, and no command prompt appears on the console.

Solution:

 

The operating system might have been damaged. Use the console port to 

perform a serial upgrade of the software. For instructions, see the 

EX2500 Ethernet Switch 

Command Referenc

Safety Warnings Summary

NOTE: 

This is a summary of safety warnings. For a complete list of warnings, including 

translations, see the

WARNING: 

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

„

To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only power cords that have a grounding path, 
and always connect the power cord to a properly grounded power outlet.

„

Electrical current from power, telephone, and communication cables is hazardous. To 
prevent a shock hazard:

„

Do not connect or disconnect any cables or work on the switch during an 
electrical storm.

„

Before working on equipment connected to power lines, remove jewelry (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.

„

Connect all power cords—for the switch and any attached equipment—to a 
properly wired and grounded electrical outlet.

„

When possible use one hand only to connect or disconnect cables.

„

Never turn on any equipment that has evidence of fire, water, or structural 
damage.

„

Disconnect the power cords before installing, uninstalling, or moving the switch. 
Both power cords must be disconnected to ensure the removal of hazardous 
energy.

„

The EX2500 switch does not have a power switch. When you connect one of the two 
power cords to an energized AC power outlet, the switch powers on immediately. You 
must disconnect the power cords to power off the switch. Always connect each power 
cord to a universal grounded power source in a quickly and safely accessible location.

„

Do not stack other devices on top of the switch in a rack. The mounting brackets 
cannot support multiple devices. Use mounting brackets to secure each device to the 
rack.

„

Optical SFP+ transceivers are Class 1 laser products. To prevent eye injury, do not 
look directly into a fiber-optic transceiver or into the ends of fiber-optic cables. Do not 
leave a fiber-optic transceiver uncovered—keep the safety cap on—except when 
inserting or removing cables. Always inspect and clean the LC connector end faces 
before making any connections.
