USB Port Specifications for an EX Series Switch
The following Juniper Networks USB flash drives have been tested and are officially supported for the
USB port on all EX Series switches:
• RE-USB-1G-S
• RE-USB-2G-S
• RE-USB-4G-S
CAUTION: Any USB memory product not listed as supported for EX Series switches
has not been tested by Juniper Networks. The use of any unsupported USB memory
product could expose your EX Series switch to unpredictable behavior. Juniper
Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) can provide only limited support for
issues related to unsupported hardware. We strongly recommend that you use only
supported USB flash drives.
All USB flash drives used on EX Series switches must have the following features:
• USB 2.0 or later.
• Formatted with a FAT or MS-DOS file system.
• If the switch is running Junos OS Release 9.5 or earlier, the formatting method must use a primary
boot record. Microsoft Windows formatting, by default, does not use a primary boot record. See the
documentation for your USB flash drive for information about how your USB flash drive is formatted.
RJ-45 to DB-9 Serial Port Adapter Pinout Information
The console port on a Juniper Networks device is an RS-232 serial interface that uses an RJ-45
connector to connect to a management device such as a laptop or a desktop PC. If your laptop or
desktop PC does not have a DB-9 plug connector pin and you want to connect your laptop or desktop
PC to the device, use a combination of the RJ-45 to DB-9 socket adapter along with a USB to DB-9 plug
adapter.
