Juniper EX4500 Quick Start Manual page 2

NOTE: You must complete the initial configuration using EZSetup within 10 minutes. The
LCD panel displays a count-down timer when the switch is in initial setup mode. The
switch exits EZSetup after 10 minutes and reverts to the factory default configuration,
and the PC loses connectivity to the switch.
1. Transition the switch into initial setup mode using the Menu and Enter buttons to the
right of the LCD panel on the front panel of the switch:
− Press Menu until you see MAINTENANCE MENU. Then press Enter.
− Press Menu until you see EZSetup. Then press Enter.
If EZSetup does not appear as an option in the menu, select Factory Default to
return the switch to the factory default configuration. EZSetup is displayed in the
menu only when the switch is set to the factory default configuration.
− Press Enter to confirm setup and continue with EZSetup.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on the PC to the MGMT port (me0)
on the front panel of the switch.
The me0 interface (the port labeled MGMT) is configured as the DHCP server with
the default IP address, 192.168.1.1. The switch can assign an IP address to the
management PC in the range 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.253.
3. From the PC, open a Web browser, type http://192.168.1.1 in the address field, and
press the Enter key.
4. On the J-Web Login page, enter root as the username, leave the password field
blank, and click Login.
5. On the Introduction page, click Next.
6. On the Basic Settings page, enter the hostname, enter and reenter a password,
specify the time zone, and synchronize the switch date and time settings with the
management PC or set them manually and click Next.
7. On the Management Options page, select Out-of-band Management—Configure
management port to configure the management interface and click Next.
8. Specify the IP address and default gateway for the management interface and click
Next.
9. On the Manage Access page, you may select options to enable Telnet, SSH, and
SNMP services.
10. Click Next. The Summary page displays the settings you have selected.
11. Click Finish. The configuration is committed as the active switch configuration.
NOTE: After the configuration is committed, if connectivity between the PC and the
switch is lost, release and renew the IP address by executing the appropriate commands
on the PC or by removing and reinserting the Ethernet cable.
12. In the command line interface (CLI), enter the request chassis pic-mode
intraconnect operational mode command to set the PIC mode to intraconnect.You
can continue configuring the switch with the CLI or the J-Web interface.
Part 5: Perform Initial Configuration on a Virtual Chassis Member Switch
NOTE: We strongly recommend that you preprovision your EX4500 Virtual Chassis. See
EX Series documentation at http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/ for complete Virtual
Chassis configuration instructions.
Before connecting an EX4500 switch into a Virtual Chassis, you must:

1. Install the Virtual Chassis module in the switch.
2. Enter the request chassis pic-mode virtual-chassis operational mode command to
set the PIC mode to virtual chassis.
3. (Mixed EX4200 and EX4500 Virtual Chassis only) Enter the request virtual-chassis
mode mixed operational mode command to configure the switch as a member of a
mixed Virtual Chassis.
4. Enter the request system reboot command to reboot the switch.Continue

Safety Warnings Summary
This is a summary of safety warnings. For a complete list of warnings, including
translations, see the EX Series documentation at http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/.
WARNING: Failure to observe these safety warnings can result in personal injury
or death.
Permit only trained and qualified personnel to install or replace switch components.
Perform only the procedures described in this quick start and the EX Series
documentation. Other services must be performed only by authorized service
personnel.
Before installing the switch, read the planning instructions in the EX Series
documentation to make sure that the site meets power, environmental, and clearance
requirements for the switch.
Before connecting the switch to a power source, read the installation instructions in the
EX Series documentation.
Installing the EX4500 switch in a two-post rack or cabinet requires one person to lift
the switch and a second person to install the mounting screws.
If the rack or cabinet has stabilizing devices, install them in the rack before mounting or
servicing the switch in the rack or cabinet.
Before installing or after removing an electrical component, always place it
component-side up on an antistatic mat placed on a flat, stable surface or in an
antistatic bag.
Do not work on the switch or connect or disconnect cables during electrical storms.
Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry,
including rings, necklaces, and watches. Metal objects heat up when connected to
power and ground and can cause serious burns or become welded to the terminals.
Power Cable Warning (Japanese)
The attached power cable is only for
this product. Do not use this cable for
another product.
