Part 3: Connect the QFX5220-128C to the Network and
Perform the Initial Configuration
Connect the QFX5220-128C to your network for out-of-band management:
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the management port (labeled Mgmt) on the QFX5220-128C.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the management device.
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
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.
login: root
3. Start the CLI.
