Connecting an EX Series Switch to a Management Console by Using the Mini-USB
Type-B Console Port
You can configure and manage EX2200-C, EX2300, EX3400, EX4300, and EX4550
switches by using the RJ-45 console port or the Mini-USB Type-B console port. However,
only one console port is active at a time and the console input is active only on that port.
If your laptop or PC does not have a DB-9 male connector pin or RJ-45 connector pin,
you can connect your laptop or PC directly to the switch by using a mini-USB cable that
has a Standard-A USB connector on one end and a Mini-USB Type-B (5-pin) connector
on the other end.
This topic describes the procedure to connect an EX2200-C, EX2300, EX3400, EX4300,
and EX4550 switch to the management console by using the Mini-USB Type-B console
port.
For information about configuring and managing an EX Series switch by using the RJ-45
console port, see “Connecting a Device to a Management Console by Using an RJ-45
Connector” on page 194.
