Chapter 3 Booting and Configuring the CSS
Booting the CSS for the First Time
Note If you purchased the SSH software option (as part of the Secure Management option) or the Network Proximity software option, the license key is on the CSS software license key card. After the CSS has booted and you log in, use the license command to enter the license key. For example, enter:
#license
Enter Software License Key (q to quit):
At the prompt, enter the 12-digit option license key.
Configuring the Ethernet Management Port
Once you enter a valid license key at the boot prompt, the CSS displays the following message and prompt:
Use the Ethernet management port IP address to access the Content Services Switch for configuration and management only. This port does not route traffic and is not associated with VLAN circuits.
The current address setting (0.0.0.0) disables the Ethernet Management port.
Do you wish to configure a valid address for the Ethernet management port [y/n]?
