Configure the Stratix 5900 Services Router Chapter 3
For security reasons, the username cisco and password cisco expires the first time
they are used. If you reset the router to the factory defaults, the username cisco
and password cisco reactivate.
3. Replace username and password with the username and password that you
want to use.
This command creates a new user with privilege level 15 and a password
for that user. If you do not do this, you cannot log into the router after you
end the session. Use the new credentials that you create for future sessions,
instead of using the username cisco and password cisco.
4. Verify that the computer IP address is properly configured.
Some routers require that the computer obtain an IP address automatically
and some require that it be configured with a static IP address.
5. Click Yes, or click Grant to accept the certificates.
6. Click Next to begin configuring the router.
Stratix Configurator software wizard asks you to enter an enable secret
password to control access to Cisco IOS software.
The Enable Secret Password parameter controls access to privileged EXEC
mode by users who are accessing the router by means of Telnet or the
console port. In privileged EXEC mode, users can make configuration
changes and have access to other commands not available outside of this
mode.
You must enter the enable secret password in the Enter Password field, and
reenter it in the Reenter Password field for confirmation. The password
must be 6 characters or more.
7. Choose an enable secret password that is easy to remember but difficult for
others to guess.
You cannot read it by viewing the configuration file because it is stored in
encrypted form.
8. When the Summary window appears, write down the LAN IP address, the
username and the user password that you entered, and click Finish.
You need this information to reconnect to the router to perform
additional configuration.
IMPORTANT Be sure to write down or remember the enable secret password that you enter.
It is not shown in the Enable Password field or in the Summary window, and it
cannot be reset without erasing the router configuration and resetting the
router to the factory default. You are also asked to change the router's LAN IP
address from its default value.
