Performing the Initial Configuration
We recommend the following workflow to perform the initial configuration:
1.In the machine room, connect your laptop to the serial port and run the EasyConfig script to assign the management interface an IP address you can reach from your subnet.
2.From your desk, run the ACM wizard from your Web browser. Be sure to change the default passwords.
In some circumstances, you might not be able to use the serial console or might prefer to get started with a simple configuration for limited purposes. For these cases, we support alternative methods for getting started. Table 13 on page 28 summarizes the getting started configuration tools.
