Plug and Play
The QFX5130-32CD switch ships with factory-default settings that enable plug-and-play operation. The default settings
enable the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP). These settings load as soon as you power on the QFX5130-32CD switch.
Customize the Basic Configuration
You can easily customize the factory-default configuration using CLI commands. Initially, you must make changes through
the console port. After you configure the management port, you can access the device using SSH to make additional
configuration changes. You can revert to the factory-default configuration whenever you want.
Have the following information ready before you begin to configure custom settings for the switch:
•
Hostname
•
Root authentication password
•
Management port IP address
•
Default gateway IP address
•
(Optional) SNMP read community, location, and contact information
1. Verify that your laptop or desktop PC has these default serial port settings:
•
Baud Rate—9600
•
Flow Control—None
•
Data—8
•
Parity—None
•
Stop Bits—1
•
DCD State—Disregard
2. Connect the console port on the QFX5130-32CD to a laptop or desktop PC using the supplied RJ-45 cable and RJ-45
to DB-9 adapter. The console (CON) port is located on the upper right corner of the port panel.
NOTE:
If your laptop or desktop doesn't have a serial port, use a serial-to-USB adapter (not provided).
3. At the Junos OS login prompt, type root to log in. You don't need to enter a password. If the software booted before
you connected the laptop or desktop to the console port, you might need to press the Enter key for the prompt to
appear.
