Configuring Out-of-Band Management
Step 3
Enter the new password for the administrator.
Enter the password for admin: admin-password
Confirm the password for admin: admin-password
Tip If a password is trivial (short, easy-to-decipher), your password configuration is rejected. Be sure to configure a
strong password as shown in the sample configuration. Passwords are case-sensitive.
Step 4 Enter yes to enter the setup mode.
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 5 Enter yes (no is the default) if you do not wish to create additional accounts.
Create another login account (yes/no) [no]: yes
While configuring your initial setup, you can create an additional user account (in the network-admin role) besides the
administrator's account.
Note User login IDs must contain non-numeric characters.
a) Enter the user login ID.
Enter the user login ID: user_name
b) Enter and confirm the user password.
Enter the password for user_name: user-password
Confirm the password for user_name: user-password
c) Assign the user role network-admin (network-operator is the default).
Enter the user role [network-operator]: network-admin
Step 6 Configure the read-only or read-write SNMP community string.
