WX 100
QUICK START
1000 Mbps LC Fiber-Optic Connectors or
10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet Interfaces
Welcome to the Juniper WX 100 application acceleration platform. This 2-rack unit network
infrastructure device has 1000 Mbps fiber-optic connectors or 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet
interfaces, and is deployed on the LAN side of the edge router. This quick start card describes
how to install the WX 100 in the data path between a switch and a router. To install the WX 100
“off-path” (connected only to the switch or router), refer to the WX/WXC Operator’s Guide.

Before you begin:
•
Fiber-optic connectors do not support the “switch-to-wire” feature.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you install a WX 100 with fiber-
optic connectors in a high-availability (HA) environment.
•
Inspect the package contents. Refer to the package contents document
enclosed with the product.
•
Ensure sufficient AC power is available. Supply circuits should be protected
by a maximum 20A circuit breaker.
•
Ensure a minimum of 6 inches clearance in the front and back of the chassis.
•
Reserve sufficient rack space to connect client WX devices to the WX 100.
•
Verify that all firewalls between WX devices allow traffic for TCP/UDP ports
3577 and 3578, and for IPComp, the IP payload compression protocol used
for reduction tunnels between devices (protocol number 108).
•
Identify a fiber-optic LAN port or a 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet port that
transmits data to your WAN router. This port is typically from an aggregation
switch, or from another LAN device connected directly to the router.
•
Obtain a license key. The license key determines the throughput levels for
the device, and properly registers the product. To obtain a permanent license
key, go to https://www.juniper.net/generate_license.
