Basic LS2020 Configuration Tasks

Step 3 Enter passwords for the four default login accounts for the LS2020 switch. For each account, enter y, then enter the password twice, as shown below:

The following accounts do not have passwords: root fldsup npadmin oper

Install a password on the root account? (y/n) [y] y

Enter new password:

Retype new password:

Install a password on the fldsup account? (y/n) [y] y

Enter new password:

Retype new password:

Install a password on the npadmin account? (y/n) [y] y

Enter new password:

Retype new password:

Install a password on the oper account? (y/n) [y] y

Enter new password:

Retype new password:

Step 4 Enter the network management configuration information for the LS2020 switch, as requested in the following configuration script. (Note that the Host Name and the IP addresses shown in bold typeface in the script below are for illustrative purposes only; you must supply an actual name and real IP addresses in these fields.

Note For an LS2020 switch with two NPs, you must perform this procedure twice—once for each NP. You must enter identical information for each NP. Do not reverse the active and secondary IP addresses on the second NP; these addresses are assigned to the entire chassis, not to individual NPs. If you do not enter the same information for both NPs, your LS2020 switch will not work.

The minimum network management information has not been configured!

Create a minimal network management configuration? (y/n) [y] y

Specify the host name for this network node.

Host name: LightStream1

You must allocate a subnetwork address for the internal network that connects all network processors in your network. Configure the Chassis Primary (Active) IP address for use within that subnet.

Chassis Primary (Active) IP Address [a.b.c.d]: 192.1.1.11

Configure the IP subnet mask for the internal network that connects all network processors in your network.

Chassis Subnet Mask [a.b.c.d]: 255.255.255.0

Does the chassis contain redundant network processors (Y/N)? [N] N

If you answer Y to this query, proceed to Step 5. Otherwise, continue with the configuration script as follows:

Your system may be attached to an external Ethernet LAN by means of the on-board Ethernet LAN interface on the network processor.
