Connect the SRX4120 to External Devices

This topic guides you on how to connect your SRX4120 to external management devices.

You can monitor and manage the SRX4120 by using a dedicated management channel. Use the management port to connect your device to the management device.

Connect the SRX4120 to a Network for Out-of-Band Management

Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable that has an RJ-45 connector at each end.

To connect a device to a network for out-of-band management:

  1. Wrap and fasten one end of an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the other end of the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
  2. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the management port on the device.
  3. Connect the other end of the cable to the management device.

Connect the SRX4120 to a Management Console Using an RJ-45 Connector

Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable that has an RJ-45 connector at either end. You will also need the appropriate adapter (not provided) depending upon your console server or management console.

You can separately order the following adapters from Juniper Networks:

  • 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)

Note:

If you want to use the 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.

To connect the device to a management console:

  1. Wrap and fasten one end of an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the other end of the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
  2. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the console port on the device.
  3. Connect the other end of the cable to the console server or PC.
