Perform Initial Configuration - Cisco MC3810 Series Quick Start Manual

Perform Initial Configuration
This section shows how to perform some basic configurations from a local or remote console, using the Cisco
command-line interface. For complete configuration procedures, see the Cisco MC3810 Series Multiservice
Access Concentrators Software Configuration Guide.
Setting the Ethernet Port IP Address
Connect the Ethernet port (yellow) to a live Ethernet connection using a standard Ethernet cable with RJ-45
connectors; then use this procedure to set an IP address for the Ethernet port. After the Ethernet port has an IP
address, you can configure the Cisco MC3810 remotely through a Telnet connection.
The starting point for this procedure is the System Configuration Dialog prompt (shown also on page 16):
