The QFX Series has a console port with an RJ-45 connector. Use the console port to
connect the device to a management console or to a console server.
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 male 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 male adapter. You must provide the USB to DB-9
male adapter.
