Note
|
If a password is trivial (such as a short,
easy-to-decipher password), your password configuration is rejected. Passwords
are case sensitive. Be sure to configure a strong password that has at least
eight characters, both uppercase and lowercase letters, and numbers.
|
Enter the password for "admin": <password>
Confirm the password for "admin": <password>
---- Basic System Configuration Dialog VDC: 1 ----
This setup utility will guide you through the basic configuration of
the system. Setup configures only enough connectivity for management
of the system.
Please register Cisco Nexus7000 Family devices promptly with your
supplier. Failure to register may affect response times for initial
service calls. Nexus7000 devices must be registered to receive
entitled support services.
Press Enter at anytime to skip a dialog. Use ctrl-c at anytime
to skip the remaining dialogs.
|
Step 4 |
Enter the setup mode by entering
yes.
Would you like to enter the basic configuration dialog (yes/no): yes
|
Step 5 |
Create additional accounts by entering
yes (no is the
default).
Create another login account (yes/no) [n]:yes
-
Enter the user login ID.
Enter the User login Id : user_login
Caution
|
Usernames must begin with an alphanumeric character and can contain only these special characters: ( + = . _ \ -). The #
and ! symbols are not supported. If the username contains characters that are not allowed, the specified user is unable to
log in.
|
-
Enter the user password.
Enter the password for "user1": user_password
Confirm the password for "user1": user_password
-
Enter the default user role.

|
Step 7 |
Enter a name for the device (the default name is switch).
Enter the switch name: switch_name
|
Step 8 |
Enable the license grace period by entering
yes.
Note
|
Enabling the grace period allows users to test licensed
features, except for Cisco TrustSec, which requires an Advanced Services
license. The grace period is 120 days and starts when you first configure a
licensed feature and stops when all features for a license are disabled. Once
the grace period expires, you must purchase the license to access the licensed
features. For more information about licenses, see the
Cisco NX-OS Licensing Guide.
|
Enable license grace period? (yes/no) [n]: yes
|
Step 9 |
Configure out-of-band management by entering
yes.
You can then enter the mgmt0 IPv4 address and subnet
mask.

yes. You can then enter its IP address.
Configure the default-gateway: (yes/no) [y]: yes
IPv4 address of the default-gateway: default_gateway
|
Step 11 |
Configure advanced IP options such as the static routes, default
network, DNS, and domain name by entering
yes.
Configure Advanced IP options (yes/no)? [n]: yes
|
Step 12 |
Configure a static route (recommended) by entering
yes. You can then enter its destination
prefix, destination prefix mask, and next hop IP address.
Configure static route: (yes/no) [y]: yes
Destination prefix: dest_prefix
Destination prefix mask: dest_mask
Next hop ip address: next_hop_address
|
Step 13 |
Configure the default network (recommended) by entering
yes. You can then enter its IPv4 address.
Note
|
The default network IPv4 address is the same as the destination
prefix in the static route configuration.
|
Configure the default network: (yes/no) [y]: yes
Default network IP address [dest_prefix]: dest_prefix
|
Step 14 |
Configure the DNS IPv4 address by entering
yes. You can then enter the address.
Configure the DNS IP address? (yes/no) [y]: yes
DNS IP address: ipv4_address
|
Step 15 |
Configure the default domain name by entering
yes. You can then enter the name.
Configure the DNS IP address? (yes/no) [y]: yes
DNS IP address: ipv4_address
|
Step 16 |
Enable the Telnet service by entering
yes.
Enable the telnet service? (yes/no) [y]: yes
|
Step 17 |
Enable the SSH service by entering
yes. You can then enter the key type and
number of key bits. For more information, see the
Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Security Configuration Guide, Release 6.x.
Enable the ssh service? (yes/no) [y]: yes
Type of ssh key you would like to generate (dsa/rsa) : key_type
Number of key bits <768-2048> : number_of_bits
|
Step 18 |

yes. You can then enter its IP address. For
more information, see the
Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS System Management Configuration Guide, Release 6.x.
Configure NTP server? (yes/no) [n]: yes
NTP server IP address: ntp_server_IP_address
|
Step 19 |
Specify a default interface layer (L2 or L3).
Configure default interface layer (L3/L2) [L3]: interface_layer
|
Step 20 |
Enter the default switchport interface state (shutdown or no
shutdown). A shutdown interface is in an administratively down state. For more
information, see the
Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Interfaces Configuration Guide, Release 6.x.
Configure default switchport interface state (shut/noshut) [shut]: default_state
|
Step 21 |
Enter the best practices profile for control plane policing
(CoPP). For more information, see the
Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Security Configuration Guide, Release 6.x.
Configure best practices CoPP profile (strict/moderate/lenient/none) [strict]: policy
|
Step 22 |
Configure CMP for the current supervisor, and then enter the IP
address, netmask, and default gateway IP by entering
yes. For more information, see the
Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Connectivity Management Processor Configuration Guide.
Configure CMP processor on current sup (slot 5)? (yes/no) [y]: yes
cmp-mgmt IPv4 address : IP_address
cmp-mgmt IPv4 netmask : net_mask

|
Step 23 |
Configure CMP for the redundant supervisor by entering
yes. You can then enter the IP address,
netmask, and default gateway IP.
Configure CMP processor on standby sup (slot 5)? (yes/no) [y]: yes
cmp-mgmt IPv4 address : IP_address
cmp-mgmt IPv4 netmask : net_mask
IPv4 address of the default gateway : default_gateway
The system now summarizes the complete configuration and asks
if you want to edit it.
|
Step 24 |
Continue to the next step by entering
no. If you enter
yes, the setup utility returns to the
beginning of the setup and repeats each step.
Would you like to edit the configuration? (yes/no) [y]: yes
|
Step 25 |
Use and save this configuration by entering
yes. If you do not save the configuration at
this point, none of your changes are part of the configuration the next time
the device reboots. Enter
yes to save the new configuration. This
step ensures that the boot variables for the kickstart and system images are also
automatically configured.
Use this configuration and save it? (yes/no) [y]: yes
Caution
|
If you do not save the configuration at this
point, none of your changes are part of the configuration the next time that
the device reboots. Enter
yes to save the new configuration to ensure
that the boot variables for the kickstart and system images are also
automatically configured.
