ASR 5500 Configuration
Following the successful installation of the system hardware, you must configure a set of software parameters
and then save these settings in a system configuration file that is launched whenever the system is reloaded.
The first time power is applied to the system, the active Management Input/Output (MIO/UMIO//MIO2) card
(typically the one installed in chassis slot 5) automatically launches a Quick Setup Wizard on its console port.
This wizard guides you through the initial configuration of the system.
The serial console port (logical port 3) is located on the front panel of the MIO card.
You can choose not to use the wizard and perform the initial configuration by issuing commands via the
command line interface (CLI). You can manually launch the wizard by running the setup command in the
Exec mode. Refer to the Command Line Interface Reference for details.
Using the ASR 5500 Quick Setup Wizard
The Quick Setup Wizard consists of three parts:
•
Configuring a context-level security administrator and hostname
•
Configuring the Ethernet interface for out-of-band (OOB) management
•
Configuring the system for remote CLI access
