Create the Initial Router Configuration

You must assign an IP address to the router management interface so that you can then connect the router to
the network.
When you initially power up the router, it boots up and asks a series of questions to configure the router. To
enable you to connect the router to the network, you can use the default choices for each configuration except
for the IP address, which you must provide.
Note Be aware of the router's unique name to identify it among the devices in the network.
Before you begin
• A console device must be connected with the router.
• The router must be connected to a power source.
• Determine the IP address and netmask needed for the Management interfaces:
Step 1 Power up the router.
The LEDs on each power supply light up (green) when the power supply units are sending power to the router, and the
software asks you to specify a password to use with the router.
Step 2
When the system is booted up for the first time, a new username and a password is to be created. The following prompt
appears:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO root-system username is configured. Need to configure root-system username.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
