Router – juniper j2300 console connection

consolejunipernetworkingrouterserial

I've been given a Juniper Networks J2300 router, but I've never used a juniper device before and no idea where to begin on how to connect to the console of the device.

I have a serial to RJ45 cable but not sure on how to connect to the device.

Do I use specific software or just use something like minicom (linux hyperterminal alternative)?

I've had a look on the juniper website and couldn't find anything 🙁

Any help would be truly appreciated,
cheers

Best Answer

Minicom will be fine.

Junipers use the 'standard' serial settings, ie:

  • Bits per second: 9600
  • Data bits: 8
  • Parity: None
  • Stop bits: 1
  • Flow control: None

(9600-8N1)
