Task 1: Complete the Initial Switch Configuration

In

this task, you will start by recording the existing mgmt interface IP address/mask and the default-gateway (for subsequent re-assignment). You will emulate a switch from factory by deleting the startup-con jig and rebooting the switch. Upon reboot completion, you will reassign the admin password and run the initial switch configuration utility to assign the switch name, and re-assign the address/mask, and default-gateway.

Teaml will configure MDSl and MDS3; Team2 will configure MDS2 and MDS4. Those working alone will configure all four switches.

Activity Procedure
Each team will complete the following steps on their respective switch.
Step 1

From the LabGear interface, open the console for your assigned switch from the Labgear DEVICES pane and authenticate using the following credentials. If the prompt in the console is asking for a password for "admin", skip to step 4.

Note

MDS9222_1

and MDS9222_2

may represent MDS1 and MDS2 in your pod.

Step 4

Upon reboot completion, you are required to assign the admin password and will be prompted to launch the Basic System Configuration Dialog. Answer the questions according to the following example, replacing your pod number where appropriate.

Note

Starting from NX-OS Release 4.x, secure password is enforced on all Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches unless disabled by the user. Password should contain characters from at least three of the following classes: lower case letters, upper case letters, digits and special characters.
