Using the Setup Script to Enable Connectivity to the Device Manager
This section describes how to use the setup script to simplify connectivity to the Device Manager GUI
(as described in the Cisco 4700 Series Application Control Engine Appliance Device Manager GUI
Quick Configuration Guide). When you boot the ACE for the first time and the appliance does not detect
a startup-configuration file, a setup script appears to guide you through the process of configuring a
management VLAN on the ACE through one of its Gigabit Ethernet ports.
After you specify a gigabit Ethernet port, port mode, and a management VLAN, the setup script
automatically applies the following default configuration:
•
•
•
OL-20823-01
Baud Rate = 9600
•
Data Bits = 8
•
Flow Control = none
•
Parity = none
•
Stop Bits = 1
•
switch login:
Once a session is created, choose Save As from the File menu to save the connection description.
Saving the connection description has the following two advantages:
The next time that you launch HyperTerminal, the session is listed as an option under
–
Start > Programs > Accessories > HyperTerminal > Name_of_session. This option lets you
reach the CLI prompt directly without going through the configuration steps.
You can connect your cable to a different device without configuring a new HyperTerminal
–
session. If you use this option, make sure that you connect to the same port on the new device
as was configured in the saved HyperTerminal session. Otherwise, a blank screen appears
without a prompt.
If this is the first time that you are booting the ACE, see the
Connectivity to the Device Manager"
If this is not the first time that you are booting the ACE, see the
ACE"
section for information about logging in and entering the configuration mode to configure the
ACE.
Management VLAN allocated to the specified Ethernet port.
VLAN 1000 assigned as the management VLAN interface.
GigabitEthernet port mode configured as VLAN access port.
