WXC 590 QUICK START
Welcome to the Juniper WXC 590 application acceleration platform. This 2U rack unit network
infrastructure device is deployed on the LAN side of the edge router. This quick start card
describes how to install the WXC 590 in the data path between a switch and a router. To install
the WXC 590 "off-path" (connected only to the switch or router), refer to the WX/WXC Operator's
Guide.
Before you begin:
•
Inspect the package contents. Refer to the package contents document
enclosed with the product.
•
Ensure sufficient AC power is available. Supply circuits should be protected
by a maximum 20A 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 devices allow traffic for TCP/UDP ports
3577 and 3578, and for IPComp, the IP payload compression protocol used
for reduction tunnels between devices (protocol number 108).
•
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 https://www.juniper.net/generate_license.

Before applying power, verify that a WXC 590 power failure will not block network traffic. One way of testing the bypass connectivity is to Ping a host on the remote side of the WXC 590 from a host on the local side of the WXC 590. - Page 3 ➏ Check the LEDs below the Local and Remote interfaces. Remote port • The WXC 590 has two rows of three LEDs: • The Link/Activity LEDs indicate connectivity. • The 100 and 1000 LEDs indicate the interface speed in Mbps.

Click Yes to proceed. - Page 5 • Enter the sum of the speeds for all the outbound circuits on the adjacent router that carry traffic from the WXC 590 to the WAN. If the speed is variable, enter the maximum speed (up to the Ethernet speed of the WXC 590). The WAN circuit speed is advertised to the remote WXC devices as the maximum speed at which to access this device.
