Configuring Initial Network Parameters For Lan A - HP P4535A - Web Cache Server Appliance Getting Started Manual

Chapter 3

Configuring Initial Network Parameters for LAN A

If the appliance has received an IP address through bootp or DHCP and you know
the IP address, you may use telnet to access the initial configuration session. (The
MAC address is printed on a label on the right side of the appliance as viewed
from the front or on the RJ45 connector.)
1. Telnet to the appliance IP address and use hpsaconfig for the user name and
hpsa for the password.
2. Once you establish the telnet session, follow the prompts on the screen to
complete the initial configuration.
CAUTION The hpsaconfig user will be deleted when the initial
configuration is successfully completed. If a telnet access user
name and password is not supplied during the initial network
configuration, you will not be able to access the appliance
with telnet. Access to the appliance will always be available
through a serial VT100 session in case you do not supply a
telnet access user name and password at initial configuration
and later wish to configure one.
If the appliance did not receive an IP address through bootp or DHCP:
1. Access the initial configuration session with a VT100 terminal session over a
serial cable.
2. Connect your client PC serial port to the serial port on the appliance with the
serial cable provided with the appliance.
3. Configure the terminal software (such as HyperTerminal on a Microsoft
Windows-based client) to connect using the appropriate com port. Set the
port speed to 9600, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
4. Press Enter on the client PC to establish the initial configuration session.
5. When prompted, login to the appliance using the user name hpsaconfig and
the password hpsa.
6. Follow the prompts on the screen to complete the initial configuration.
Once in the initial network configuration, you will be prompted to create a telnet
access account by supplying a user name and password. You must create this user
name and password in order to have telnet access to the appliance after this initial
configuration session. Several Traffic Server management tasks require telnet
access.
