58 Installing the Access Gateway
Establishing the Start Up Configuration
The CLI allows you to administer the Access Gateway’s start-up configuration settings.
The start up configuration must be established before connecting the Access Gateway to a
customer’s network. The “start up” configuration settings include:

Assigning Login User Names and Passwords – You must assign a unique login user
name and password that enables you to administer and manage the Access Gateway
securely.

Setting the SNMP Parameters (optional) – The SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) parameters must be established before you can use an SNMP client (for
example, HP OpenView) to manage and monitor the Access Gateway remotely.

Enabling the Logging Options (recommended) – Servers must be assigned and set up
if you want to create system and AAA (billing) log files, and retrieve error messages
generated by the Access Gateway.
When establishing the start-up configuration for a new installation, you are
connected to the Access Gateway via a direct serial connection (you do not have
remote access capability because the Access Gateway is not yet configured or
connected to a network). Once the installation is complete (see
“Installation
Workflow” on page 41 ) and the system is successfully configured, you will have
the additional options of managing the Access Gateway remotely from the
system’s Web Management Interface, an SNMP client manager of your choice, or
a simple Telnet interface.
User names and passwords are case-sensitive.
