Basic LS2020 Configuration Tasks
This section explains how to enter basic configuration information for your LS2020 chassis in order to make it operable in your networking environment and manageable from your NMS. You must perform these procedures for the NP card(s) in your LS2020 chassis.
Note If you experience a problem while performing basic configuration tasks, you may need to shut down and restart the system. Refer to the LightStream 2020 Hardware Reference & Troubleshooting Guide for instructions on performing an orderly shutdown.
Required Configuration Information
You need to have the following information available before beginning the basic configuration procedures:
•Passwords for the four default login accounts for the LS2020 switch root, oper, npadmin, and fldsup.
•
•
Host name for the LS2020 node.
IP address and subnet mask for the:
—Primary NP, as well as for the backup NP, if present.
—NP Ethernet interface, if present.
—Default router for the LS2020 network. This IP address should be configured only if the default router and the NP Ethernet interface are attached to the same LAN.
•Trunk port configuration information for one or more trunk ports on the node. For nodes not directly connected to the NMS, the trunk port will be used to load a full LS2020 node configuration from the NMS.
Passwords
You must create a password for each of the four default login accounts on the LS2020 switch: root, oper, npadmin, and fldsup . See the LightStream 2020 Network Operations Guide for more information about default login accounts.
A password must be at least six characters in length. It can be as long as you wish, but only the first eight characters are used. Any combination of characters is acceptable, including spaces.
