Configure the Switch for Cisco CP
Step 9
Configure the http timeout policy as shown in the example:
Router(config)#
ip http timeout-policy idle 60 life 86400 requests 10000
Step 10
Configure the vty lines for privilege level 15. For nonsecure access, enter the
transport
input
telnet
command. For secure access, enter the
transport
input
telnet
ssh
command. An example of these
commands follows:
Router(config)#
line vty 0 4
Router(config-line)#
privilege level 15
Router(config-line)#
login local
Router(config-line)#
transport input telnet
Router(config-line)#
transport output telnet
Router(config-line)#
transport input telnet ssh
Router(config-line)#
transport output telnet ssh
Router(config-line)#
exit
Router(config)#
line vty 5 15
Router(config-line)#
privilege level 15
Router(config-line)#
login local
Router(config-line)#
transport input telnet
Router(config-line)#
transport output telnet
Router(config-line)#
transport input telnet ssh
Router(config-line)#
transport output telnet ssh
Router(config-line)#

Configure the Switch for Cisco CP
This task section explains how to configure the switch to support Cisco CP.
Note
The tasks that follow can also be accomplished using the
Application > Setup New Device
option in
Cisco CP by connecting the PC to the console port of the device. See the topic Device Wizard in the
Cisco Configuration Professional User Guide 2.5
at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9422/products_user_guide_list.html
for more details.
Note
Make sure that the PC on which Cisco CP is installed can connect to the switch using its IP address.
Cisco CP require the following basic configuration in order to connect to the switch and manage it.
•
An http or https server must be enabled with local authentication.
•
A local user account with privilege level 15 and accompanying password must be configured.
•
Vty line with protocol ssh/telnet must be enabled with local authentication. This is needed for
interactive commands.
•
An http timeout policy must be configured with the parameters shown in the following procedure to
avoid a known launch issue with Cisco CP.
•
The PC on which Cisco CP is to run and the interface through which Cisco CP will be launched must
be configured with IP addresses from the same subnet.
You can use the Cisco IOS CLI to enter the necessary configuration commands. To use this method, see
Entering the Configuration Commands Manually
