CAUTION:
Do not change the IP address for the Ethernet interface that you are using
to communicate with the device. If you change the address, you will lose the SSH
session.
Step 6: Power On
CAUTION:
Evaluate the overall loading of the branch circuit before you install any
equipment into a rack.
To power on the device:
1.
Be sure that you have set up a management console.
2.
Verify that the power source is operational.
3.
Inspect all grounding and power connections to the device chassis.
4.
Confirm that all cable connections are secure.
5.
Monitor LEDs to verify that the device is booting properly.
The device goes through a boot process. When a prompt appears on the system
console, the device is ready to be configured. If the system is new, the device
boots to a first boot script. If the system is already operational, it boots to a login
prompt.
The series of login prompts require the following settings:
1.
Default username (
ctp
) and password (
ctp
). (We suggest that you change the
root password after completing these steps.)
2.
Supported protocol or protocols—(
0
) IPv4 only, (
1
) IPv6 only, or (
2
) IPv4 and
IPv6. Enter the appropriate number value.
3.
Default interface—From the list of available devices, such as
eth0
and
eth1
(or
more), enter the one to be the default.
4.
Hostname of the device.
5.
IP address of the interface—Enter the IP address of the selected interface, or
accept the loopback address (127.0.0.1) by default.
6.
Netmask of the IP address—Enter the netmask (such as
255.255.255.128
), or
accept 255.255.255.0 as the default.
7.
Gateway IP address—Enter the IP address of the gateway, or accept the local
address (127.0.0.1) as the default
8.
Maximum transmission unit (MTS)—Enter the MTU in bytes, or accept 1500
bytes as the default.
9.
Static routes added to the default interface, if any.
10.
