WX 100 QUICK START
1000 Mbps LC Fiber-Optic Connectors or
10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet Interfaces
Before you begin:
Welcome to the Juniper WX 100 application acceleration platform. This 2-rack unit network
infrastructure device has 1000 Mbps fiber-optic connectors or 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet
interfaces, and is deployed on the LAN side of the edge router. Using this quick start card,
the WX 100 can be installed and operational in a matter of minutes.
•
Fiber-optic connectors do not support the "switch-to-wire" feature.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you install a WX 100 with fiber-
optic connectors in a high-availability (HA) environment.
•
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
maximum 20A circuit breaker.
•
Ensure a minimum of 6 inches clearance in the front and back of the chassis.
•
Reserve sufficient rack space to connect client WX devices to the WX 100.
•
Verify that all firewalls between WX devices allow traffic on TCP/UDP ports
3577 and 3578, and for IPComp, the IP payload compression protocol used
for reduction tunnels between devices (protocol number 108).
•
Identify a fiber-optic LAN port or a 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernet 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.
