Chapter 3 Booting the CSS
Booting the CSS for the First Time
Configuring the Ethernet Management Port
Once you enter a valid license key at the boot prompt, the CSS displays the
following message and prompt:
Use the Ethernet management port IP address to access the Content
Services Switch for configuration and management only. This port
does not route traffic and is not associated with VLAN circuits.
Do you wish to configure the Ethernet management port IP address
[y/n]?
Enter:
• y to configure an IP address and subnet mask for the Ethernet Management
port. The CSS prompts you for an IP address and then a subnet mask. You
must enter a valid IP address or the CSS repeats the prompt until you do. The
CSS does not accept an all zero IP address.
Caution The Ethernet Management port IP address must be a different subnet
than any other CSS VLAN circuit subnet. If you do not make this IP
address unique, you will not be able to access the port.
Enter IP Address [1.1.1.1]:
Enter subnet mask [255.0.0.0]
• n to accept the default IP address (1.1.1.1) and subnet mask (255.0.0.0). The
CSS does not prompt you for an IP address and subnet mask.
Changing the Default Username and Password
The CSS allows you to change the default username and password.
Access to this device is allowed using the default username and
password. For enhanced security we recommend that you change the
defaults. Do you want to change the defaults now (yes,no):
