Initial Setup Parameters
Initial Setup Parameters
At this point, there are several basic global parameters that must be correctly configured for the SCE
platform to communicate properly with the outside world. The following is a very brief summary of the
initial setup parameters and commands. For more information, see the Cisco SCE8000 10GBE Software
Configuration Guide.
• IP address and subnet mask of the Cisco SCE 8000 platform itself. This is the IP address used by
the management interface.
• IP address of the default gateway.
• Hostname—The hostname is used to identify the SCE platform. It appears as part of the CLI prompt
and is also returned as the value of the MIB-II object sysName.
– The maximum length is 20 characters.
– The default hostname is SCE8000.
• Passwords for user, admin, and root level access. These are authorization-level passwords, not
individual passwords. These passwords may be encrypted.
Passwords must meet the following criteria:
– Minimum length — 4 characters
– Maximum length — 100 characters
– Begin with an alpha character
– May contain only printable characters
• The default password for all levels is cisco.
• System clock— Current date and time. The clock and the calendar must always be synchronized.
• Time zone—Name or ID of the time zone along with the number of hours offset from UTC.
• Domain name server—Default domain name, which is used to complete unqualified host names, as
well as up to three domain name servers, which are used for DNS lookup.
You must also enable DNS lookup.
• RDR formatter destination—SCE platform generates Raw Data Records and sends them to the
specified destinations (external collection systems) via the RDR formatter. You can configure up to
eight RDR formatter destinations. Specify the IP address and port number for each destination.
Table 5-1 lists commands both for displaying the currently configured values and for configuring these
parameters. It also lists the command mode for each configuration command. All show commands are
executed from the User Exec command mode.
