Configuring the Switch
Tip If you do not want to answer a previously configured question, or if you want to skip answers to any
questions, press Enter. If a default answer is not available (for example, switch name), the switch uses
what was previously configured and skips to the next question.
To configure the switch for first time, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 Ensure that the switch is on. Switches in the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series boot automatically.
Step 2
Enter the new password for the administrator.
Example:
Enter the password for admin: <password>
Tip
Step 3 Enter yes to enter the setup mode.
Example:
This setup utility will guide you through the basic configuration of
the system. Setup configures only enough connectivity for management
of the system.
*Note: setup is mainly used for configuring the system initially,
when no configuration is present. So setup always assumes system
defaults and not the current system configuration values.
Press Enter at anytime to skip a dialog. Use ctrl-c at anytime
to skip the remaining dialogs.
Would you like to enter the basic configuration dialog (yes/no): yes
The setup utility guides you through the basic configuration process. Press Ctrl-C at any prompt to end the
configuration process.
Step 4 Enter the new password for the administrator (admin is the default).
Example:
Enter the password for admin: admin
Step 5 Enter yes (no is the default) to create additional accounts.
Example:
Create another login account (yes/no) [n]: yes
While configuring your initial setup, you can create an additional user account (in the network-admin role)
besides the administrator's account.
a) Enter the user login ID.
Example:
Enter the user login ID: user_name
b) Enter the user password.

If a password is weak (short, easy-to-decipher), your password configuration is rejected. Be sure to
configure a strong password. Passwords are case-sensitive.
