40 Configuration
Configuring the system with the Setup Utility
The Setup Utility prompts you through the configuration process by asking a
series of questions. Answer each question or accept the default by pressing
Enter. Each question shows the default in brackets and the acceptable
parameter options in parenthesis.
After powering up, connecting through the console and logging in with the
default user ID and password, enter the following command:
install
Note 1: You must be connected to the master CPU to use the install
script.
Note 2: After running the setup utility, remember to reboot the switch.
A Welcome to ERS 8000 setup utility message appears saying that
you are about to configure initial configuration of the switch. Part of the
data is stored in the file /flash/boot.cfg and part is stored in the runtime
configuration file flash/config.config.
You are asked if you want to continue (y/n)? Type y for yes.
Table 4 "Setup utility prompt descriptions" (page 40) gives the setup utility
prompt descriptions and the corresponding action to perform for each
prompt.
ATTENTION
If you enable high secure (hsecure) mode, when the switch reboots without any
password previously configured, you can use a default password to log on, but
will be prompted to change the password. The new password must follow the
rules mandated by hsecure mode. For more information about hsecure, see
Configuring and Managing Security (NN46205-601; 314721-E).
