3. Setup

3.1. Preparazzjoni tas-Sit

• Ambjent: Place the switch in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area. Ensure the ambient temperature does not exceed 40 degrees Celsius.
• Immuntar: The compact design allows for desktop placement or wall mounting (mounting hardware not included).
• Sors tal-Enerġija: Connect the switch to a reliable power outlet using the provided power cable. The switch operates on 230 Volts.

3.2. Konnessjoni tas-Swiċċ

1. Konnessjoni tal-Enerġija: Connect the power cable to the switch's power inlet and then to an appropriate electrical outlet.
2. Konnessjonijiet tan-Netwerk:
   • Portijiet RJ-45: Use the provided 1000Base-T RJ-45 cables to connect network devices (computers, servers, other switches) to the 12 Ethernet ports (labeled 0-11) on the front panel.
   • Portijiet SFP: Insert SFP transceivers (if required) into the two SFP ports and connect fiber optic cables for uplink or high-speed connections.
3. Console Connection (Initial Configuration): For initial configuration and management, connect a serial cable from your management workstation to the CON (console) port on the switch. Alternatively, a Mini-USB console port is also available.

4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

4.1. Tixgħel

Once the power cable is connected, the switch will automatically power on. The boot process for the Junos OS may take several minutes.

4.2. Indikaturi LED

Monitor the front panel LEDs for operational status:

• SYS (Sistema): Indicates the overall system status. Typically solid green for normal operation.
• SPD (Veloċità): Indicates the link speed of the connected port.
• ALM (Allarm): Indicates an alarm condition. Refer to the Junos OS documentation for specific alarm codes and troubleshooting.
• DX (Duplex): Indicates the duplex mode of the connected port.
• CON (Console): Indicates activity on the console port.
• EN (Enable): Indikatur tal-istatus.
• PoE (Enerġija fuq Ethernet): If applicable, indicates PoE status for ports. (Note: This model does not explicitly list PoE as a feature, but the LED is present).

4.3. Konfigurazzjoni

The Juniper EX2200-C-12T-2G switch is managed using the Junos Operating System via a Command Line Interface (CLI). Access the CLI through the console port or via SSH after initial network configuration. Refer to the official Juniper Networks Junos OS documentation for detailed configuration procedures, including VLAN setup, routing protocols, and security settings.

5. Manutenzjoni
