Bring-up the Cisco NCS 6008 Router
After installing the hardware, boot the Cisco NCS 6008 Series Router . Connect to the XR VM console port
and power on the router. The routersystem completes the boot process using the pre-installed operating system
(OS) image. If no image is available within the router, the router can be booted using an external bootable
USB drive.
After booting is complete, create the root username and password, and then use it to log on to the XR VM
console and get the router prompt. From the XR VM console, access the System Admin VM console to
configure system administration settings.
For more information about completing the hardware installation, see Cisco Network Convergence System
6000 Series Routers Hardware Installation Guide.
