Chapter 2 Configuring CSS Basics
Initial Setup Quick Start
4. Create usernames and passwords to log in to the CSS (optional). The CSS
supports a maximum of 32 usernames, including the administrator and
technician usernames. You can assign each user with SuperUser or User
status.
(config)# username picard password “captain” superuser
5. Access boot mode to configure an IP address for the Ethernet management
port. This IP address must be on a different subnet than any other CSS
virtual LAN (VLAN) circuit IP subnet or you will not be able to access the
port. You must reboot the CSS for the new IP address to take effect.
(config)# boot
(config-boot)# ip address 172.16.6.58
6. Configure a subnet mask for the Ethernet management port in boot mode.
(config-boot)# subnet mask 255.255.255.0
7. Exit from boot mode to config mode.
(config-boot)# exit
8. Configure a static IP route, as required.
(config)# ip route 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 192.168.1.1
9. Exit from config mode to configure a date. The clock date command does
not allow backspacing. If you enter a wrong date, reenter the command with
the new information.
Enter the date in the format mm-dd-yy.
# clock date
Enter date: [12-31-03] 12-31-03
To use the European format to specify the date (using the format of day,
month, and year), access config mode and use the date
european-date
command to enable the clock date command to accept date input in the
format of day, month, and year.
(config)# date european-date
(config)# exit
# clock date
Enter date: [31-12-03] 31/12/03
