Chapter 5 Connecting the Management Interfaces and Performing Initial System Configuration

Initial System Configuration

Initial System Configuration

Upon initial connection to the local terminal, as described above, the system configuration wizard automatically runs to guide the user through the entire setup process. The wizard prompts for all necessary parameters, displaying default values, where applicable. You may accept the default values or define other values.

With the exception of the time settings, which take effect immediately when entered, the new configuration is applied and saved only at the end of the dialog when approved by the user. Therefore, if the setup dialog is aborted, no change takes place in the configuration, other than time settings (if entered).

When the dialog is complete, you may review the new configuration before applying it. The system displays the configuration, including parameters that were not changed. The system also displays any errors that are detected in the configuration. When the configuration is satisfactory, you may apply and save the new configuration.

The following table lists all the parameters included in the initial configuration. It is recommended that you obtain values for any parameters that you will configure at this time before beginning the setup.

Note For further information regarding any configuration step or specific parameter, refer to the relevant section in the Cisco Service Control Engine (SCE) Software Configuration Guide.
