IBM WebSphere DataPower XC10, Руководство по установке

v
Storage space, in a location other than the appliance, to create a backup
v
Network Time Protocol (NTP) server information to enable WAS cells to function
v
(Optional) The IP addresses and subnet mask for Ethernet interfaces for
appliance service access (
ETH0
,
ETH1
, and
ETH2
)
Best Practice: Use the
MGMT
Ethernet interface on a dedicated subnet for all
network- and system-wide management functions. This dedicated
subnet would handle network traffic for Web Management
(WebGUI) functions.
Use the remaining three Ethernet interfaces to handle caching traffic.
Consideration for password to xcadmin account
The first time that you boot the WebSphere DataPower XC10 appliance is different
from any subsequent boot. On subsequent boots from a serial connection, you will
not be prompted to accept the licensing agreement or to change the password for
the
xcadmin
account. However, you will be prompted to log in with a local
account.
Attention: Do not misplace the new password for the xcadmin account as the
appliance is not accessible without this user ID and password and must then be
returned to IBM for remanufacturing, which erases all data on the appliance.
The following options are available for the
xcadmin
account if you forget your
password:
v
If an e-mail address has been provided for the
xcadmin
account, and an SMTP
server has been configured and is available, you can have the password e-mailed
to the e-mail address associated with the
xcadmin
account.
v
If there is another user account that has the appropriate access permission, that
user can reset the password for the
xcadmin
account.
v If you misplace this password and the other options are not available, security
best practice dictates that you should return the appliance to IBM Support to
reset this password.
When you receive the appliance after a password-reset, you must perform an
initial firmware setup. Therefore, none of your configuration data will be on the
appliance.
Connecting the serial cable to the appliance
To make the serial connection, use the following procedure:
1. Use a serial cable to connect the terminal or PC to the
CONSOLE
connector on the
appliance. If the terminal or PC does not have a serial port and has only a USB
port, then use a USB-to-serial adapter.
2. Ensure that the terminal or PC is configured for standard 9600 8N1 and no
flow control operation. 8N1 is a notation for a serial configuration in
asynchronous mode, where there are eight (8) data bits, no (N) parity bit, and
one (1) stop bit. The terminal emulation suggested for the terminal or PC is
VT100.
