2. Insert the coupler end of the power cord into the AC power cord inlet on the AC power supply
faceplate.
3. Insert the power cord plug into the power source outlet.
4. If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, set it to the ON (|) posion.
5. Verify that the AC and the DC LEDs are lit green and on steadily.
Performing the Inial Soware Conguraon for
QFX5200 Switches
Before you begin connecng and conguring a QFX5200, 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 QFX5200 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 management panel of the switch.
2. Log in as root. There is no password. If the soware booted before you connected to the console
port, you might need to press the Enter key for the prompt to appear.
login: root
3. Start the CLI.
root@% cli
4. Enter conguraon mode.
root> configure
5. Add a password to the root administraon user account.
[edit]
root@# set system root-authentication plain-text-password
New password: password
Retype new password: password
6. (Oponal) Congure the name of the switch. If the name includes spaces, enclose the name in
quotaon marks (“ ”).
[edit]
root@# set system host-name host-name
7. Congure the default gateway.
• For standard Junos OS systems:
[edit]
root@# set routing-options static route default next-hop address
• For Junos OS Evolved systems:
[edit]
root@# set system management-instance
6

root@# set routing-instances mgmt_junos routing-options static route prefix/prefix-
length next-hop default-gateway-ip-address
8. Congure the IP address and prex length for the switch management interface.
• For standard Junos OS systems:
[edit]
root@# set interfaces em0 unit 0 family inet address ip-address/prefix-length
• For Junos OS Evolved systems:
[edit]
root@# set interfaces re0:mgmt-0 unit 0 family inet address ip-address/prefix-length
CAUTION: Although the CLI permits you to congure two management Ethernet
interfaces within the same subnet, only one interface is usable and supported.
NOTE: On the QFX5200-48Y, the management port em0 is the top right-hand RJ-45 port on
the port panel.
9. (Oponal) Congure the stac routes to remote prexes with access to the management port.
[edit]
root@# set routing-options static route remote-prefix next-hop destination-ip retain no-
readvertise
10. Enable services such as SSH and Telnet.
NOTE: You will not be able to log in to the switch as the root user through Telnet. Root login
is allowed only through SSH.
•The default opon for SSH is yes. Select this to enable SSH.
• The default opon for Telnet is no. Change this to yes to enable Telnet.
