Connecting a QFX3500 Device to a Network for Out-of-Band Management
If you are using the QFX3500 device as a standalone switch, you can monitor and manage the QFX3500
device using a dedicated management channel. QFX3500 devices have two management ports. Depending
on which management board your QFX3500 device is configured with the management ports are
1000BASE-T RJ-45 ports or 1-Gbps SFP ports. Use the management ports to connect the QFX3500 device
to a network for out-of-band management.
CAUTION: Configuring the two management interfaces within the same subnet is not
supported.
NOTE: You cannot use the management ports to perform the initial configuration of the QFX3500
device. You must configure the management ports before you can successfully connect to the
QFX3500 device using these ports. See Configuring a QFX3500 Device as a Standalone Switch.
Ensure that you have an appropriate cable available. See “Cable Specifications for Console and Management
Connections for the QFX Series” on page 146 and The Hardware Compatibility Tool .
To connect a QFX3500 device to a network for out-of-band management (see Figure 118 on page 352 ):
1. Connect one end of the cable to one of the management ports (labeled C0 and C1) on the QFX3500
device.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the management device (see Figure 118 on page 352 ).
