Chapter 5 Initial Configuration
Configuring the Mobility Services Engine
Configuring the Mobility Services Engine
As part of the initial installation, you only need to minimally configure the mobility services engine
using the console port. The mobility services engine provides a setup wizard to help prompt you for
configuration information. All configuration beyond the initial setup using the setup wizard can be done
with Cisco WCS.
Note
You must change the default root password during the initial configuration of the mobility services
engine to ensure optimum network security.
•
You are prompted to change the password during the initial setup using the setup wizard.
•
You can also change the password using the Linux command, passwd.
Using the Setup Wizard
The Setup Wizard provides a convenient script to guide you through the initial configuration settings for
the mobility services engine. You can activate the Setup Wizard when using the console port.
Note
Cisco recommends that you configure all relevant items during initial setup to ensure optimum operation
of the mobility services engine in your network. The hostname and either the Ethernet-0 (eth0) or the
Ethernet-1 (eth1) port MUST always be configured during the automatic installation.
Note
You can rerun the Setup Wizard at any time to add or change parameters. There is no need to reenter
values that you do not want changed during one of these updates.
Note
If you do not want to configure an item, enter S or skip and you are prompted for the next configuration
step. Skipped settings are retained and not modified.
Note
If you want to use the default setting of an option, enter U, use , or press Enter and you are prompted
for the next configuration step.

services engine, follow these steps:

Step 3
Configure your terminal emulator for the serial port settings (see the
section).
Step 4
