Initial Configuration

Before you can use the NAM for network analysis, you must log into the NAM root account and
configure the following:
•IP address
•Subnet mask
•IP broadcast address
•IP host name
•Default gateway
•Domain name
•If applicable, the DNS name server.
•If using an external SNMP manager to communicate with the NAM you must configure the
following:
–
SNMP MIB vari ables
–
Access control for the SNMP agent
–
System group settings on the NAM
•Start the web server using the ip http server enable command.
To configure these parameters for the NAM, perform these steps in privileged mode:
Step 1 Verify that the NAM is installed and that the power is on by entering this command:
Console> show module mod
Step 2 Establish a console session with the NAM by entering this command:
Console> (enable) session mod
Step 3 At the login prompt, type root to log into the root account.
Step 4 At the password prompt, type root as the root password.
Note If you have not changed the password from the factory-set default, a warning message
displays. To change the password from the default, see the “Changing and Recovering the
NAM CLI Passwords” section on page 48 for more information.
