Default Configuration
A version of FTOS is pre-loaded onto the chassis, however the system is not configured when you power
up for the first time (except for the default hostname, which is FTOS). You must configure the system
using the CLI.
Configure a Host Name
The host name appears in the prompt. The default host name is FTOS.
• Host names must start with a letter and end with a letter or digit.
• Characters within the string can be letters, digits, and hyphens.
To configure a host name:
The example below illustrates the
hostname command.
FTOS(conf)#hostname R1
R1(conf)#
Access the System Remotely
You can configure the system to access it remotely by Telnet. The method for configuring the C-Series and
E-Series for Telnet access is different from S-Series.
• The C-Series, E-Series, S4810 and the S4820T have a dedicated management port and a management
routing table that is separate from the IP routing table.
