Ensure that you have an RJ-45 to DB-9 rollover cable available. An RJ-45 cable with an RJ-45 to DB-9
adapter is provided with the device.
NOTE: If your laptop or PC does not have a DB-9 plug connector pin and you want to connect
your laptop or PC directly to the QFX Series, use a combination of the RJ-45 cable and RJ-45
to DB-9 adapter supplied with the device and a USB to DB-9 plug adapter. You must provide
the USB to DB-9 plug adapter.

1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the console port (labeled CON).
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into the console server (see Figure 78 on page 294 ) or
management console (see Figure 79 on page 294 ).
