Perform Inial Soware Conguraon for QFX5240
Switches
Before you begin connecng and conguring a QFX5240 switch, set the following parameter values on
the console server or PC:
• Baud Rate—9600
• Flow Control—None
• Data—8
• Parity—None
• Stop Bits—1
• DCD State—Disregard
You must perform the inial conguraon of the QFX5240 switch through the console port using the
CLI or through zero-touch provisioning (ZTP). In order to use ZTP to provision the device, you must have
access to a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server and a File Transfer Protocol (anonymous FTP),
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), or Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server on which the soware
image and conguraon les are stored. For more informaon about using ZTP for provisioning the
device, see Understanding Zero Touch Provisioning in the
Installaon and Upgrade Guide .
To connect and congure the switch from the console:
1. Connect the console port to a laptop or PC using an RJ-45 cable and RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter. The
console (CON) port is located on the top right corner of the port panel.
