Booting the GSS

Booting the GSS

When you power up the GSS, the boot process:

•Performs hardware initialization and power-on self tests

•Initializes the BIOS

•Initializes the Linux boot manager, LILO (Linux Loader)

•Boots the GSS image (kernel and software)

•Displays the startup banner and splash screen for strong encryption

•Prompts you to log in to the GSS

Note During power-up, the green power LED on the front of the GSS is on.

At this point, you are ready to use the GSS. Refer to the:

•Cisco Global Site Selector Getting Started Guide for details on setting up and configuring the GSS device

•Cisco Global Site Selector Administration Guide for procedures to properly manage and maintain your GSSM and GSS devices

•Cisco Global Site Selector Global Server Load-Balancing Configuration Guide for procedures to configure your GSS devices to perform global server load balancing

If you are booting the GSS for the first time and it boots without a startup-configuration file, a setup script automatically runs to guide you through the process of initially configuring the GSS. Refer to the Cisco Global Site Selector Getting Started Guide for details about using the setup script.
