Management Cable Specifications

Table 1 lists the specifications for the cables that connect the console and management ports to management devices.

Table 1: Specifications of Cables to Connect to Management Devices
Ports	Cable Specifications	Receptacle	Additional Information
RJ-45 Console port	Rollover cable	RJ-45	Connect a Device to a Management Console Using an RJ-45 Connector
Management Ethernet port	Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector	RJ-45	Connect a Device to a Network for Out-of-Band Management
Mini-USB Type-B Console port	Mini-USB cable with standard-A and Mini-USB Type-B (5-pin) connector	Mini-USB

Console Port Connector Pinout Information

The console port on a Juniper Networks device is an RS-232 serial interface that uses an RJ-45 connector to connect to a console management device. The default baud rate for the console port is 9600 baud.

Table 2 provides the pinout information for the RJ-45 console connector.

Note:

We no longer include the RJ-45 console cable with the DB-9 adapter as part of the device package. If the console cable and adapter are not included in your device package, or if you need a different type of adapter, you can order the following separately:

RJ-45 to DB-9 adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-DB9)
RJ-45 to USB-A adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-USBA)
RJ-45 to USB-C adapter (JNP-CBL-RJ45-USBC)

If you want to use RJ-45 to USB-A or RJ-45 to USB-C adapter you must have X64 (64-Bit) Virtual COM port (VCP) driver installed on your PC. See, https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/ to download the driver.

Note:

If your laptop or desktop PC does not have a DB-9 plug connector pin and you want to connect your laptop or desktop PC directly to a device, use a combination of the RJ-45-to-DB-9 socket adapter and a USB-to-DB-9 plug adapter. You must provide the USB-to-DB-9 plug adapter.

USB Port Specifications for an EX Series Switch

Juniper Networks tested and officially supports the following USB flash drives for the USB port on all EX Series switches:

RE-USB-1G-S
RE-USB-2G-S
RE-USB-4G-S

CAUTION:

Any USB memory product not listed as supported for EX Series switches has not been tested by Juniper Networks. The use of any unsupported USB memory product could expose your EX Series switch to unpredictable behavior. Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) can provide only limited support for issues related to unsupported hardware. We strongly recommend that you use only supported USB flash drives.

All USB flash drives used on EX Series switches must have the following features:

USB 2.0 or later.
Formatted with a FAT32 or MS-DOS file system.
If the switch is running Junos OS Release 9.5 or earlier, the formatting method must use a primary boot record. Microsoft Windows formatting, by default, does not use a primary boot record. See the documentation for your USB flash drive for information about how your USB flash drive is formatted.
