Chapter 3 Initial Configuration

Starting a Cisco MDS 9020 Fabric Switch

The following procedure is a review of the tasks you should have completed during hardware

installation, including starting up the switch. These tasks must be completed before you can configure

the switch.

Before you can configure a switch, follow these steps:

Step 1 Verify the following physical connections for the new Cisco MDS 9020 Fabric Switch:

•The console port is physically connected to a computer terminal (or terminal server).

•The management 10/100 Ethernet port (mgmt0) is connected to an external hub, switch, or router.

Refer to the Cisco MDS 9020 Fabric Switch Hardware Installation Guide for more information.

Tip Save the host ID information for future use (for example, to enable licensed features). The host

ID information is provided in the Proof of Purchase document that accompanies the switch.

Step 2 Verify that the default console port parameters are identical to those of the computer terminal (or

terminal server) attached to the switch console port:

•9600 baud

•8 data bits

•1 stop bit

•No parity

Step 3 Power on the switch. The switch boots automatically and the switch# prompt appears in your terminal

window.

Initial Setup Routine

The first time that you access a Cisco MDS 9020 Fabric Switch, it runs a setup program that prompts

you for the IP address and other configuration information necessary for the switch to communicate over

the Ethernet interface. This information is required to configure and manage the switch.

Note The IP address can be configured from the CLI only. When you power up the switch for the first time,

assign the IP address. After you perform this step, the Cisco Fabric Manager can reach the switch

through the Ethernet port.

Chapter 3 Initial Configuration Initial Setup Routine

Preparing to Configure the Switch

Before you configure a Cisco MDS 9020 Fabric Switch for the first time, you need the following

information:

•Administrator password, including:

–

Creating a password for the administrator (required).

–

Creating an additional login account and password (optional).

•IP address for the switch management interface. The management interface is an out-of-band

Ethernet interface.

•Subnet mask for the switch's management interface (optional).

•IP addresses, including:

–

Destination prefix, destination prefix subnet mask, and next hop IP address, if you want to

enable IP routing. Also, provide the IP address of the default network (optional).

–

Otherwise, provide an IP address of the default gateway (optional).

•SSH service on the switch—To enable this optional service, select the SSH key (rsa) and the number

of key bits (768 to 2048).

•Default domain name (optional).

•NTP server IP address (optional).

•SNMP community string (optional).

•Switch name—This is your switch prompt (optional).

Note Be sure to configure the IP route, the IP default network address, and the IP default gateway address to

enable SNMP access. If IP routing is enabled, the switch uses the IP route and the default network IP

address. If IP routing is disabled, the switch uses the default gateway IP address.

Default Login

The Cisco MDS 9020 Fabric Switch has the network administrator as a default user (admin). You cannot

change the default user at any time. (See the “Role-Based Authorization” section on page 9-5.)

You must explicitly configure a strong password for the Cisco MDS 9020 Fabric Switch. If a password

is trivial (short, easy-to-decipher), your password configuration is rejected. Be sure to configure a strong

password. (See “Configuring User Accounts” section on page 9-6.) If you configure and subsequently

forget this new password, you have the option to recover this password. (See the “Recovering the

Administrator Password” section on page 9-10.)

Setup Options

The setup scenario differs based on the subnet to which you are adding the new switch. You must

configure a Cisco MDS 9020 Fabric Switch with an IP address to enable management connections from

outside of the switch. Figure 3-1 shows a switch that is managed out-of-band over a connection to the

network through an Ethernet port.

Chapter 3 Initial Configuration

Assigning a Switch Name

Each switch in the fabric requires a unique name. You can assign names to easily identify the switch by

its physical location, its SAN association, or the organization to which it is deployed. The assigned name

is displayed in the command-line prompt. The switch name is limited to 32 alphanumeric characters.

Note This guide refers to the Cisco MDS 9020 Fabric Switch as switch, and it uses the switch# prompt.

To change the name of the switch, perform this task:

Where Do You Go Next?

After reviewing the default configuration, you can change it or perform other configuration or

management tasks. The initial setup can be performed at the CLI only. However, you can continue to

configure other software features or access the switch after initial configuration by using either the CLI

or the Device Manager and Fabric Manager applications.

To use the Cisco Fabric Manager, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration

Guide.

Verifying the Status of the Switch

Before you begin configuring the switch, you need to ensure that the switch is functioning as designed.

To verify the status of a switch at any time, enter the show module command in EXEC mode. A sample

output of the show module command follows:

switch# show module

Mod Ports Module-Type Model Status
