Connecting and Configuring an EX9200 Switch (CLI Procedure)
The EX9200 switch is shipped with the Junos OS preinstalled and ready to be configured
when the switch is powered on. There are three copies of the software: one on a
CompactFlash card in the Routing Engine module (RE module), one on a rotating hard
disk in the RE module, and one on a USB flash drive that can be inserted into the slot in
the faceplate of the RE module.
When the switch boots, it first attempts to start the image on the USB flash drive. If there
is no USB flash drive inserted into the RE module or if the attempt otherwise fails, the
switch next attempts to start the software from the CompactFlash card (if installed),
and finally from the hard disk.
You configure the switch by issuing Junos OS command-line interface (CLI) commands,
either on a console device attached to the console (CONSOLE) port on the master RE
module, or over a telnet connection toa networkconnected to the Ethernet management
(<...>) port on the master RE module.
Gather the following information before configuring the switch:
•
Name the switch will use on the network
•
Domain name the switch will use
•
IP address and prefix length information for the Ethernet interface
•
IP address of a default switch
•
IP address of a DNS server
•
Password for the root user
