After you have completed configuring remote management on the management port, you can use Telnet
to remotely assign and verify configurations.

Configuring the Hostname

In addition to the system passwords and enable password, your initial configuration should include a
hostname to easily identify your ML-Series card. To configure the hostname, perform the following task,
beginning in enable mode:
Command
Step 1
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)#
Step 2
Router<config)# hostname name-string
Step 3
name-string (config)# end
name-string #
Step 4
name-string # copy running-config
startup-config

CTC and the Startup Configuration File

CTC allows a user to load the startup configuration file required by the ML-Series card. A
Cisco-supplied sample Cisco IOS startup configuration file, named Basic-IOS-startup-config.txt, is
available on the Cisco ONS 15454 SONET/SDH software CD. CISCO15 is the Cisco IOS CLI default
line password and the enable password for this configuration. Users can also create their own startup
configuration file; see the
