WX 15, WX 20 and WXC 250 Quick Start

Welcome to the Juniper WX 15, WX 20, and WXC 250 application

acceleration platforms quick start. These one rack-unit (1U) network

infrastructure devices are deployed on the LAN side of the edge router.

This quick start card describes how to install the WX/WXC in the data

path between a switch and a router. To install the WX/WXC “off-path”

(connected only to the switch or router), refer to the WX/WXC

Operator’s Guide.

Before You Begin

 Inspect the package contents. Refer to the package contents

document enclosed with the product.

 Ensure sufficient power is available. Supply circuits should be

protected by a 15 A or 20 A circuit breaker.

 Ensure a minimum of six inches clearance in the front and back of

the chassis. For a WX 15, provide three inches of clearance on

both sides of the chassis to allow cooling air to be drawn through

the side panels.

 Verify that all firewalls between WX devices allow traffic on:

 TCP/UDP ports 3577 and 3578

 IP payload compression protocol (protocol number 108).

 Identify a 10/100 Ethernet LAN port that transmits data to your

WAN router. This port is typically from an aggregation switch, or

from another LAN device connected directly to the router.

 Obtain a license key. The license key determines the throughput

levels for the device, and properly registers the product. To obtain

a permanent license key, go to:

https://www.juniper.net/generate_license

If you operate the platform at its base speed, only the serial

number is needed to generate a permanent license. If you

purchased license upgrades, you will need the Authorization Code

Certificate that was emailed to you in electronic PDF format.

If you have any problems with the licensing process, open a

support case using the Case Management link at

http://www.juniper.net/support/. To call from the United States,

Canada, or Mexico, dial 1-888-314-JTAC. To call from other

locations, check the list of local support centers at

http://www.juniper.net/support/support_contacts.html or

dial 1-408-745-9500.

Installation

Perform the following steps to install your WX 15, WX 20 or WXC 250

platform:

1. Set up the chassis.

 For rack mount installation, install the supplied brackets, front

panel forward, to the sides of the device (Figure 1).

 For desktop installation, install the rubber stands in the

recessed areas on the bottom of the chassis (pre-installed on

the WX 15 platform).

NOTE: Do not connect the power cable until Step 4.

Locate the cable that connects from the switch (or other aggregating device) to the router. Disconnect this cable from the router port and connect it to the LOCAL port on the WX/WXC device. Connect a straight-through cable (not provided) from the router port to the REMOTE port on the WX/WXC device. See Figure 2. Figure 2.

WX 15, WX 20, and WXC 250 Quick Start 5. Configure network settings. Connect an ANSI-compatible terminal to the serial port, and use a terminal emulation program (e.g., HyperTerminal) to log in to the CLI (Figure 4). Figure 4. Finally, type the default gateway for this device and then press Enter. Type save-config and type y to confirm. You can safely bypass the other configuration questions at this time.

WX 15, WX 20, and WXC 250 Quick Start Quick Setup After powering on the device and assigning IP parameters, the next step is to log in to the Web console and run the Quick Setup program. The first time you log in to the Web console, the Quick Setup program starts automatically and guides you through initial configuration options for the device. For more information about Demo Mode, refer to the Operator’s Guide. If you select Active Mode, click Next to continue.

. Enter a license key. By default, each device has a 30-day evaluation license. When the evaluation license expires, data will pass through the device without any processing. If you have a permanent license key, select Enter license key now, and enter the key in the License key field. Click Next, and then click Finish. Where to Go Next Initial configuration is complete. Please refer to the operator’s guide to configure policy settings for the device.
