Performing the Initial Software Configuration for
QFX5220 Switches
You must perform the initial configuration of the QFX5220 through the console port using the CLI or
through zero touch provisioning (ZTP). In order to use ZTP to provision the device, you must have access
to a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server, and a File Transfer Protocol (anonymous FTP), Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP), or Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server on which the software image and
configuration files are stored. For more information about using ZTP for provisioning the device, see
Understanding Zero Touch Provisioning in the Installation and Upgrade Guide.
Before you begin connecting and configuring a QFX5220, set the following parameter values on the console
server or PC:
•
Baud Rate—9600
•
Flow Control—None
•
Data—8
•
Parity—None
•
Stop Bits—1
•
DCD State—Disregard
To connect and configure the switch from the console:
1. Connect the console port to a laptop or PC using the supplied RJ-45 cable and RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter.
The console (CON) port is located on the top right corner of the port panel.
2. Log in as root. There is no password. If the software booted before you connected to the console port,
you might need to press the Enter key for the prompt to appear.
