JRR200 Route Reflector Chassis Overview

Mount the JRR200 Route Reflector on Four Posts of a Rack

You can mount a JRR200 route reflector in a 19-inch four-post rack configuration. An AC device weighs approximately 29 lb (13.16 kg) and a DC device weighs approximately 28.8 lb (13.06 kg).
You will need the items listed below to mount the JRR200 route reflector onto the rack:

• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
• Screws to secure the mounting brackets to the chassis
• Rack-mounting screws to secure the chassis to the four rack posts—not provided
• Phillips (+) screwdriver, number 2
• Two persons are required for mounting the JRR200 route reflector.

NOTE: Ensure that the rack is in its permanent location, allowing adequate clearance for airflow and maintenance, and secured to the building structure.

NOTE: If you are mounting multiple units in the rack, mount the heaviest unit at the bottom and mount the others from bottom to top in order of decreasing weight.

CAUTION: Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your wrist and connect the other end to a site ESD point.

NOTE: Ensure that the rear of the JRR200 route reflector is supported throughout the process of mounting the JRR200 route reflector into the rack.

To mount the JRR200 route reflector on a rack:

1. Attach the front-mounting brackets and the side mounting rails to the chassis by using the flat-head screws.

2. Have one person grasp both sides of the JRR200 route reflector, lift it, and position it in the rack so that the front mounting bracket holes align with the threaded holes in the rack rail and the second person secure the front of the JRR200 route reflector to the rack by using rack-mounting screws (and cage nuts and washers if your rack requires them).

3. Continue to support the JRR200 route reflector, and have the second person slide the rear mounting blades into the channels of the side mounting rails and secure the blades to the rack. Use rack-mounting screws (and cage nuts and washers if your rack requires them) to attach the sliding blades to the rack.

Connect the Grounding Cable

1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to an approved site ESD grounding point. See the instructions for your site.
2. Connect one end of the grounding cable to a proper earth ground, such as the rack in which the JRR200 route reflector is mounted.
3. Place the grounding cable lug over the grounding point on the rear of the chassis.

NOTE: The JRR200 route reflector should be permanently connected to ground during normal operation. A licensed electrician must attach a cable lug to the grounding cable. A cable with an incorrectly attached lug can damage the JRR200 route reflector.

4. Secure the grounding cable lug to the grounding point with the screw.
5. Dress the grounding cable and ensure that it does not touch or block access to other device components and that it does not drape where people could trip over it.

Power on the JRR200 Route Reflector

NOTE: Check that the AC or DC power supplies are fully inserted into the chassis.

If you are using the AC model, perform the following steps:

1. Set the power switch on the JRR200 route reflector to the off (O) position.
2. Insert the coupler end of the power cord into the AC power cord inlet on the AC power supply faceplate. Push the power cord retainer onto the power cord.
   NOTE: An AC-powered device gets additional grounding when you connect the power supply in the device to a grounded AC power outlet by using the power cord.

3. Insert the power cord plug into an AC power source outlet.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second AC power supply.

5. If the AC power source outlet has a power switch, set it to on (|) position. Set the power switch on the JRR200 route reflector to the on (|) position and it will power on.
   If there is no power switch on the AC power source outlet, set the power switch on the JRR200 route reflector to the on (|) position and it will power on.

6. Verify that the AC and DC LEDs on each power supply are lit green. If you are using the DC model, perform the following steps:

WARNING: Before performing the following procedure, ensure that there is no power in the DC circuit. To ensure that all power is cut off, locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, switch the circuit breaker to the off (0) position, and tape the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the off position.

1. Ensure that the voltage across the DC power source cable leads is 0 V and that the cable leads do not become active while you are connecting DC power.

2. Verify that the DC power cables are correctly labeled before connecting them to the power supply. In a typical power distribution scheme where the return is connected to chassis ground at the battery plant, you can use a multi-meter to verify the resistance of the – 48 V and RTN DC cables to chassis ground:
   The cable with very high resistance (indicating an open circuit) to chassis ground will be connected to the V – (input) DC power input terminal.
   The cable with very low resistance (indicating a closed circuit) to chassis ground will be connected to the V + (return) DC power input terminal.

3. Remove the protective cover from the terminal studs on the faceplate. Save this cover for future use.

4. Remove the screws on the terminals by using a number 2 Phillips (+) screwdriver.

5. Secure each positive (+) DC source power cable lug to a RTN (return) terminal. Secure each negative (–) DC source power cable lug to a -48 V (input) terminal.

6. Tighten the screws on the power supply terminals until snug using the screwdriver. Do not overtighten.

7. Replace the protective cover over the terminal studs on the faceplate.

8. Switch the circuit breaker to the ON (|) position.

9. Verify that the IN and OUT LEDs on the power supply are lit green and are on steadily.

Connect to the Console

To configure the JRR200 route reflector, you must connect a management device to the CONSOLE port located on the front panel of the JRR200 route reflector, using the provided RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter and the RJ45 cable.

1. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to the ESD point on the chassis.
2. Plug one end of the RJ-45 cable into the CONSOLE port of the JRR200 route reflector and the other end into the DB-9 serial port adapter.

3. Connect the DB-9 serial port adapter end of the RJ-45 cable to the serial port of your management device. Use the following values to configure the serial port:
   • Baud rate—9600
   • Parity—N
   • Data bits—8
   • Stop bits—1
   • Flow control—None

Initial Configuration Using the CLI

Access the CLI to perform the initial configuration.

1. Log in to the device as root. When the device is powered on with the factory-default configuration, you do not need to enter a password.
2. At the (%) prompt, type cli to start the CLI and press Enter. The prompt changes to an angle bracket (>) when you enter the CLI operational mode.

3. At the (>) prompt, type configure and press Enter. The prompt changes from > to # when you enter configuration mode.

4. Set the root authentication password by entering a cleartext password, an encrypted password, or an SSH public key string (DSA or RSA).

5. Configure the route for the management interface (optional, required only if you do not connect the MGMT port directly to the management device).

6. Commit the configuration changes.

7. Connect the MGMT port on the device to the Ethernet port on the management device using an RJ-45 cable.
8. The JRR200 route reflector MGMT port is internally mapped to the em0 interface in Junos. By default, the management network interface (em0) is configured with DHCP enabled. If there is a DHCP server on the management network, then the JRR200 management network interface is automatically assigned an IP address. If there is no DHCP server on the management network then you need to configure the management network interface IP address by performing the following steps:
   • a. Delete the default management interface configuration.

  * b. Configure a new IP address for the management interface.

  * c. Commit the configuration changes.

  * d. Configure an IP address for the management device. Ensure that the IP address is on the same subnetwork as the management interface (em0).

9. When you have finished configuring the device, exit configuration mode:
