Juniper WX 3400 Quick Start

WX 3400 Quick Start
This quick start card describes how to install the Juniper WXC 3400 application
acceleration platform in the data path between a switch and a router. To install the WXC
3400 "off-path" (connected only to the switch or router), refer to the operator's guide.

Before You Begin

Inspect the package contents. Refer to the package contents document enclosed
with the product.
Ensure sufficient power is available. Supply circuits should be protected by a
maximum 20 A circuit breaker.
Ensure a minimum of 6 inches clearance in the front and back of the chassis, and 3
inches clearance on both sides.
Verify that all firewalls between WX and WXC devices allow traffic for TCP/UDP ports
3577 and 3578
Identify a 10/100/1000 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:
http://www.juniper.net/generate_license
If you operate the platform at its base speed, only the serial number is needed to
generate a permanent license. If you purchased license upgrades, you will need the
Authorization Code Certificate that was emailed to you in PDF format.
If you have any problems with the licensing process, open a support case using the
Case Management link at:

Installation

Perform the following steps to install your WXC 3400 platform:

1. Set up the chassis.

For rack mount installation, install the supplied brackets, front panel forward, to
the sides of the device (Figure 1).
For desktop installation, place the device securely on a flat surface.
NOTE: Do not connect the power cable until Step 4.

2. Connect the network cables.

To connect the network cables:
Locate the cable that connects from the switch (or other aggregating device) to
the router.
Disconnect this cable from the router port and connect it to the Local port on the
WXC 3400.
Connect a crossover cable from the router port to the Remote port on the
WXC 3400.
The AUX, MGT, and USB ports are reserved for future use, as are the two empty slots
below the disk drives.

3. Verify bypass connectivity.

Ping a host on the remote side of the WXC 3400 from a host on the local side of the
WXC 3400.
NOTE: If you cannot verify connectivity on both sides of the device, do not proceed to
the next step. Ensure that you are using the correct cables (crossover vs.
straight-through), and verify that there is network connectivity before applying power.
