Switches

11.Cable together the switches labeled “Switch 3” and “Switch 4.”

12.Cable together the switches labeled “Layer 3 switch 1” and “Layer 3 switch 2.”

13.Cable the switches labeled “Layer 3 switch 1” and “Layer 3 switch 2” to routers.

Note: The switch ports must be defined as 802.1Q trunk ports, and the external routers must be able to use either Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) or Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). For the best configuration method, see the documentation for your switch or router.

14.Turn the power switches for all devices ON.

For more advanced HA configurations, see the NetScreen Concepts & Examples ScreenOS Reference Guide.

PERFORMING INITIAL CONNECTION AND CONFIGURATION

To establish the first console session with the NetScreen-200 Series device, use a vt100 terminal emulator program through the provided RJ-45/DB9 serial port connector.

Establishing a Terminal Emulator Connection

To establish an initial console session:

1.Plug the DB9 end of the supplied RJ-45/DB-9 serial cable into the serial port of your computer. (Be sure that the DB-9 is seated properly by screwing in the thumbscrews.)

2.Plug the RJ-45 end of the cable into the Console port of the NetScreen-200 Series device. (Be sure that the RJ-45 clip snaps into the port and is seated properly.)

3.Launch a Command Line Interface (CLI) session between your computer and the NetScreen-200 device using a standard serial terminal emulation program such as Hilgraeve Hyperterminal (provided with your Windows operating system). The settings should be as follows:

•Baud Rate to 9600

•Parity to No

•Data Bits to 8

•Stop Bit to 1

•Flow Control to none

4.Press the ENTER key to see the login prompt.

5.At the login prompt, type netscreen.
