Chapter 1
Booting, Logging In, and Getting Started
Booting the CSS for the First Time
Enter one of the following:
•
y
to configure an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the
Ethernet management port. The CSS prompts you for an IP address, a subnet
mask, then a default gateway. You must enter a valid IP address or the CSS
repeats the prompt until you do.
Enter IP Address [0.0.0.0]:
Enter Subnet Mask [0.0.0.0]:
Enter Default Gateway [0.0.0.0]:
Note
The Ethernet management port IP address must be on a different subnet
from any other CSS VLAN circuit subnet. If you do not make this IP
address unique, you will not be able to access the port.
•
n
to accept the default IP address (0.0.0.0), subnet mask (0.0.0.0), and
gateway (0.0.0.0) and to disable the port. The CSS does not prompt you for
an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
The Ethernet management port default IP address of 0.0.0.0 disables the Ethernet
management port. To enable the Ethernet management port, specify the
ip
address
command in boot mode (see
Chapter 2, Configuring CSS Basics
) or use
the Offline DM menu (refer to the
Cisco Content Services Switch Administration
Guide
).

logins.

password. For enhanced security we recommend that you change the
defaults. Do you want to change the defaults now (yes,no):
Enter one of the following:
•
yes
to change the username and password. The CSS prompts you for the
following information and password confirmation.
Enter <administrator> username:
Enter <administrator> password:
Confirm <administrator> password:
