Initial Setup of the ProCurve NAC 800
System Settings
N o t e
In the following window, you will create a username and password for an
administrator with access to the Web browser interface. You can, if you
so desire, set the password to match the root password. However, pass-
words for Web browser managers must meet these requirements:
•
At least 8 characters
•
Mixed letters and numbers
Therefore, if you plan to use the same password to access the Web
browser interface and the root OS, the password created in step 4 must
include a mix of letters and numbers.
Root passwords for ESs also must include mixed letters and numbers.
5.
Enter the same password in the
Re-enter root password
field.
6.
Configure the NAC 800 to receive its date and time from a Network Time
Protocol (NTP) server:
a.
Chose your region from the
Region
drop-down menu.
While not mandatory, this setting narrows the selection for the next
setting: your time zone.
b.
Select the correct time zone from the
Time zone
drop-down menu.
Time zones are listed by offset from Greenwich Mean Time
(GMT)—for example, GMT –6:00—as well as by name and by select
cities in that time zone. (If your city is not listed, you can either rely
entirely on the GMT offset or look for a city that you know is in your
time zone.)
It is important to select the correct time zone so that the NAC 800
appropriately adjusts the time that it receives from the NTP server.
c.
Specify the IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of at
least one NTP server.
You can specify multiple servers; separate the IP addresses or FQDNs
with commas (no space). By default, the MS is set to communicate
with three public NTP servers:
–
0.pool.ntp.org
–
1.pool.ntp.org
–
2.pool.ntp.org
You can add to or replace these servers with other NTP servers—your
company’s own server, a private server, or other public servers. Visit
http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers
for a list of
public NTP servers.
