Configuring The Hostname; Loading A Cisco Ios Startup Configuration File Through Ctc - Cisco ONS 15454 Software Feature And Configuration Manual

Chapter 3 Initial Configuration

Configuring the Hostname

In addition to the system passwords and enable password, your initial configuration should include a
hostname to easily identify your ML-Series card. To configure the hostname, perform the following task,
beginning in enable mode:
Command
Step 1
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)#
Step 2
Router(config)# hostname name-string
Step 3
Router(config)# end
Router#
Step 4
Router# copy running-config
startup-config

Loading a Cisco IOS Startup Configuration File Through CTC

CTC allows a user to load the startup configuration file required by the ML-Series. A Cisco-supplied
sample IOS startup configuration file, named Basic-IOS-startup-config.txt, is available on the Cisco
ONS 15454 SONET/SDH software CD. CISCO15 is the IOS CLI default line password and the enable
password for this configuration. Users can also create their own startup configuration file, see the
"Manually Creating a Startup Configuration File Through the Serial Console Port" section on page
CTC can load a Cisco IOS startup configuration file into the TCC+/TCC2 card flash before the
ML-Series card is physically installed in the slot. When installed, the ML-Series card downloads and
applies the Cisco IOS software image and the preloaded Cisco IOS startup-configuration file. Preloading
the startup configuration file allows an ML-Series card to immediately operate as a fully configured card
when inserted into the ONS 15454 SONET/SDH.
If the ML-Series card is booted up prior to the loading of the Cisco IOS startup configuration file into
TCC+/TCC2 card flash, then the ML-Series card must be reset to use the Cisco IOS startup configuration
file or the user can issue the command copy start run at the Cisco IOS CLI to configure the ML-Series
card to use the Cisco IOS startup configuration file.
This procedure details the initial loading of a Cisco IOS Startup Configuration file through CTC.
At the card-level view of the ML-Series card, click the IOS tab.
Step 1
The CTC IOS window appears
Click the IOS startup config button.
Step 2
The config file dialog appears.
Click the Local -> TCC button.
Step 3
The sample IOS startup configuration file can be installed from either the ONS 15454 SONET/SDH

To install the Cisco supplied startup config file from the ONS 15454 SONET/SDH software CD,
insert the CD into the CD drive of the PC or workstation. Using the CTC config file dialog, navigate
to the CD drive of the PC or workstation and double-click the Basic-IOS-startup-config.txt file.
