Note
Before You Begin
You must have completed the initial router configuration.
Step 1
Plug the cable directly into the RJ-45 receptacle.
Step 2
Connect the network end of your RJ-45 cable to a switch, hub, repeater, or other external equipment.
Creating the Initial Router Configuration
You must assign an IP address to the router management interface so that you can then connect the router to
the network.
When you initially power up the router, it boots up and asks you a series of questions to configure the router.
To enable you to connect the router to the network, you can use the default choices for each configuration
except the IP address, which you must provide.
You should also know the unique name needed to identify the router among the devices in the network.Note
Before You Begin
•
A console device must be connected with the router.
•
The router must be connected to a power source.
•
Determine the IP address and netmask needed for the Management interfaces: MgmtEth0/RP0/CPU0/0
and MgmtEth0/RP1/CPU0/0:
Step 1
Power up the router.
The LEDs on each power supply light up (green) when the power supply units are sending power to the router, and the
software asks you to specify a password to use with the router.
Step 2
When the system is booted up for the first time, a new username and a password is to be created. The following prompt
appears:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO root-system username is configured. Need to configure root-system username.
