For information about configuring and managing an EX2200–C switch using the RJ-45
console port, see “Connecting a Switch to a Management Console” on page 129.
Before you begin connecting an EX2200–C switch using Mini-USB Type-B console port:
•
Ensure that the USB to Serial driver is installed on the host machine. You can download
the driver fromhttps://webdownload.juniper.net/swdl/dl/secure/site/1/record/5029.html
.
•
Ensure that the hyper terminal properties of the console server or laptop are set as
follows:
•
Baud rate—9600
•
Flow control—None
•
Data—8
•
Parity—None
•
Stop bits—1
•
DCD state—Disregard
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
•
1 mini-USB cable with Standard-A and Mini-USB Type- B (5-pin) connectors (not
provided).
To connect the switch to the console using Mini-USB Type-B console port:
1. Connect the Standard-A connector of the mini-USB cable to the host machine (PC
or Laptop).
2. Connect the Mini-USB Type-B (5-pin) connector of the mini-USB cable to the Mini-USB
Type-B console port (labeled CON) on the switch.
3. Setthe Mini-USB Type-B console port as the active console port by using the command
port-type.
By default, the RJ-45 port is set as an active console port and the Mini-USB Type-B
port is the passive console port. For information about configuring the console port
type, see Configuring the Console Port Type (CLI Procedure).
4. Reboot the switch.
