Create 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.
After you boot the router, follow the guided setup/prompts to configure the router. To enable you to connect
the router to the network, you can use the default choices for each configuration except for the IP address,
which you must provide.
Note down the router's unique name. It helps to identify the router among the devices in the network.
Note
Before you begin
• Connect a console device with the router.
• Connect a power source to the router.
• 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. The
Administrative User Dialog prompt appears.
Step 2
When the system is booted up for the first time, you must enter root-system username. Use the default username and
password that is provided to you. Later, you can create new username and password. The following prompt appears:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO root-system username is configured. Need to configure root-system username.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
