Connecting and Configuring the EX-series Switch (CLI Procedure)
There are two ways to connect and configure the EX-series switch: one method is
through the console using the CLI and the other is using the J-Web interface. This
section describes the CLI procedure.
To configure the switch from the console:
1. Connect the console port to a laptop or PC using the RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port
adapter. The RJ-45 cable and RJ-45 to DB-9 serial port adapter are supplied with
the switch.
2.
At the shell prompt type ezsetup.
3. Enter the hostname. This is optional.
4. Enter the root password. You are prompted to re-enter the root password.
5. Enter yes to enable services like Telnet and SSH. By default, Telnet is not enabled
and SSH is enabled.
6. Next, select one of the switch management options:
■
Configure in-band management. In this scenario you have the following two
options:
■ Use the default VLAN.
■ Create a new VLAN—If you select this option, you are prompted to
specify the VLAN name, VLAN ID, management IP address, default
gateway. Select the ports that must be part of this VLAN.
■
Configure out-of-band management. Specify the IP address and gateway of
the management interface. Use this IP address to connect to the switch.
