I found this while troubleshooting an IPSEC VPN on a Cisco ASA running 8.4.

Pretty handy!

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain web-based network documentation systems
• Design and configure networks utilizing multiple vendors including Juniper and Cisco
• Maintenance of Internet Exchange Points and related equipment
• Rack and Stack
• Configure and maintain *nix systems
• Configure network monitoring
• Sales Engineering

If you’re using a USB to serial adapter, make sure you have the correct port usually in windows “COM” followed by a number (COMxx no spaces)
Juniper uses their own standardized port settings for console connections:

9600 baud
8 bits data
1 stop bit(s)
Null parity
No flow control

These should be the same for any recent juniper device.

Some Juniper devices have an “Easy-Setup” option. This bypasses most of the advanced configuration options but allows basic configurations; such as remote management. The Easy-Setup comes with a time limit of 10 minutes before it will revert back to factory defaults!

After mounting and powering up the device, Jun-OS immediately begins to load. This can take a few minutes (Watch the LED’s ignoring the ALARM LED). Some devices such as the EX series have a EZ setup button as well. After the OS has loaded you can plug in the console cable and begin using the terminal.

*note that new or wiped systems will show “Amnesiac (ttyu0)”.Indicating blank memory.
Sometimes session logs show extra data as ASCII characters (this can also happen with bad drivers).
Blank fields are optional.

Default log in is: “root” with a blank password.

A basic EX4200 set will go something like this:

Amnesiac (ttyu0)

On most Juniper devices, there are only a few basic settings to configure before everything else: a local IP (also used for remote management), default gateway, Subnet Mask, and the port number and setting (trust or untrust zone).

Hopefully it will start taking traffic.

Here some pictures of the new MICE Akamai Cluster. The cluster is directly below the main switch in Suite 100 in the 511 building.

Deployed in the late 90′s, the system delivered 10 Mb/s Ethernet connectivity to an area just south of Juba’s Supervalue in Blue Earth, Minnesota. Primarly used for gaming, specifically Age of Empires, the system ran a combination of protocols including IPX and TCP/IP.

The goal of the system was to prevent excessive “Turtle-ing”. This condition was experienced most commonly on the north end of the block.

An Ethernet hub was installed on the South end of the trans-block cable connecting up to 4 local systems.

Later, a second cable procured from Fred’s Micro in Amboy, MN was added connecting Matt Co Gaming located above Edling Chiropractic on 8th street in Blue Earth. Upon the cables successful aerial installation (using the basketball hoop and second story window). The cable bypassed the Alley House a popular local teen hang out.

Due to disagreements with with landlords and proper permitting, the outside plant portion of the system was dismantled and the cable placed in top secret storage in the former Burke funeral home where it was recently located and recovered. A search of the “Indiana Jones” warehouse was pending a trained Archaeologist which one of the initial participants had recently completed.

The cable is in good condition but has not been fully tested. A future use for the cable has not been determined.

The new address is:
