To configure IP address for Ethernet port on BMC and other additional information related to BMC, please
see the
System Setup Guide for Cisco 8000 Series Routers.
Before you begin
• A console device must be connected with the router.
• The router must be connected to a power source.
• Determine the IP address and netmask that is needed for the Management interfaces:
MgmtEth0/RP0/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, and the
software asks you to specify a password to use with the router.
Step 2
When the system is booted up for the first time, a new username and a password is to be created. The following prompt
appears:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO root-system username is configured. Need to configure root-system username.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
--- Administrative User Dialog ---
Enter root-system username:
% Entry must not be null.
Enter root-system username:
cisco
Enter secret:
Use the 'configure' command to modify this configuration.
User Access Verification
Username: cisco
Password:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:ios#
Step 3
Enter a new password to use for this router.
The software checks the security strength of your password and rejects your password if it is not considered to be a strong
password. To increase the security strength of your password, make sure that it adheres to the following guidelines:
• at least eight characters
• minimizes or avoids the use of consecutive characters (such as "abcd")
• minimizes or avoids repeating characters (such as "aaa")
• does not contain recognizable words from the dictionary
• does not contain proper names
• contains both uppercase and lowercase characters
• contains numbers as well as letters
