Part 4: Perform Initial Configuration
NOTE: To obtain an IP address dynamically, you must enable a DHCP client on the
management PC you connect to the switch.
1. To transition the switch into initial setup mode, use the Menu and Enter buttons to
the right of the LCD panel on the front panel of the switch:
Press Menu until you see MAINTENANCE MENU. Then press Enter.
Press Menu until you see ENTER EZSetup. Then press Enter.
If EZSetup does not appear as an option in the Maintenance menu, select Factory
Default to return the switch to the factory default configuration. EZSetup is displayed
in the menu only when the switch is set to the factory default configuration.
Press Enter to confirm setup and continue with EZSetup.
The ge-0/0/0 interface on the front panel of the switch is configured as the DHCP
server with the default IP address, 192.168.1.1. The switch can assign an IP address
to the management PC in the IP address range 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.253.
NOTE: You have 10 minutes from now to complete the initial configuration using EZSetup.
After 10 minutes, the LCD panel displays a count-down timer and the switch exits EZSetup
mode. The switch then reverts to the factory default configuration and loses connectivity
to the PC. If connectivity is lost, disconnect the cable and start over from Part 4, Step 1.
2. Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on the PC, and connect the
other end to port 0(ge-0/0/0) on the front panel of the switch.
3. From the PC, open a Web browser, type http://192.168.1.1 in the address field, and
press the Enter key.
4. On the Juniper Web Device Manager for IBM j-type Ethernet Login page, enter root as
the username, leave the password field blank, and click Login. On the Introduction
page, click Next.
5. On the Basic Settings page, enter the hostname, enter and reenter a password,
specify the time zone, and synchronize the switch date and time settings with the
management PC or set them manually.
6. Click Next. Use the Management Options page to select the management scenario:
In-band Management—Use VLAN ‘default’ for management
Select this option to configure all data interfaces as members of the default
VLAN. Click Next. Specify the management IP address and the default gateway.
In-band Management—Create new VLAN for management
Select this option to create a management VLAN. Click Next. Specify the VLAN
name, VLAN ID, member interfaces, and management IP address and default
gateway for the new VLAN.
Out-of-band Management—Configure management port
Select this option to configure only the management interface. Click Next.
Specify the IP address and default gateway for the management interface.
7. Click Next. On the Manage Access page, you may select options to enable Telnet,
SSH, and SNMP services. For SNMP, you can configure the read community, location,
and contact.
8. Click Next. The Summary page displays the settings you have selected.
9. Click Finish. The configuration is committed as the active switch configuration. You
can log in with the CLI or the Juniper Web Device Manager for IBM j-type Ethernet
interface to configure the switch.
NOTE: After the configuration is committed, the connectivity between the PC and the
switch might be lost. To reconnect, release and renew the IP address by executing the
appropriate commands on the PC or by removing and reinserting the Ethernet cable.
Safety Warnings Summary
This is a summary of safety warnings. For a complete list of warnings, including
translations, see the IBM Ethernet Switch J48E documentation at
http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/networking.
WARNING:Failure to observe these safety warnings can result in serious physical injury.
Permit only trained and qualified personnel to install or replace switch components.
Perform only the procedures described in this quick start and the switch hardware
documentation. Other services must be performed only by authorized personnel.
Before installing the switch, read the planning instructions in the hardware
documentation to make sure that the site meets power, environmental, and clearance
requirements for the switch.
Before connecting the switch to a power source, read the installation instructions in
the hardware documentation.
If the switch is the only unit in the rack, mount it at the bottom of the rack. If the rack
is partially filled, load the rack from the bottom, with the heaviest unit at the bottom.
If the rack has stabilizing devices, install them in the rack before mounting or
servicing the switch in the rack.
A fully loaded IBM Ethernet Switch J48E weighs approximately 22 lb (10 kg).
Manually installing the switch in a four-post rack requires lifting the switch,
positioning it, and sliding it into the rack. To prevent injury, keep your knees bent and
your back straight and avoid twisting your body. Lift with your legs, not your back.
Before installing or after removing an electrical component, always place it
component-side up on a flat antistatic surface or in an electrostatic bag.
Do not work on the switch or connect or disconnect cables during electrical storms.
Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry,
including rings, necklaces, and watches. Metal objects heat up when connected to
power and ground and can cause serious burns or become welded to the terminals.
Power Cable Warning (Japanese). The
attached power cable is only for this product.
Do not use this cable for another product.
