Perform The Initial Configuration - Juniper EX2300 Quick Start Manual

Perform the Initial Configuration

NOTE: To run the EZSetup script, the switch must have the factory-default configuration as the active
configuration. If you have configured anything on the switch and want to run EZSetup, you must revert the
switch to the factory-default configuration. See the EX Series documentation at
https://www.juniper.net/documentation/product/en_US/ex2300
configuration.
To connect and configure the switch from the management host:
1. Set the following values on the management host: baud rate—9600; flow control—none; data—8; parity—none; stop
bits—1; DCD state—disregard.
2. Connect the console port to the management host by using the Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector attached and
the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter.
NOTE: You can also use the mini-USB port to connect the switch to the management host (see the EX Series
documentation at https://www.juniper.net/documentation/product/en_US/ex2300).
3. At the Junos OS shell prompt root%, type ezsetup.
4. (Optional) Enter the hostname.
5. Enter the root password that you want to use for the switch. Reenter the root password when prompted.
6. Enable services such as SSH and Telnet.
NOTE: You will not be able to log in to the switch as the root user through Telnet. Root login is allowed only
through SSH.
7. Use the Management Options page to select the management scenario:
In-band Management—Use the automatically created VLAN, default, for management.
Select this option to configure all data interfaces as members of the default VLAN. Click Next. Specify the management
IP address and the default gateway.
Out-of-band Management—Configure the management port. Select this option to configure only the management
interface. Specify the IP address and default gateway for the management interface.
