Step 3 Enter a new password to use for this router.
The software checks the security strength of your password and rejects your password if it is not considered
to be a strong password. To increase the security strength of your password, make sure that it adheres to the
following guidelines:
• at least eight characters
• minimizes or avoids the use of consecutive characters (such as "abcd")
• minimizes or avoids repeating characters (such as "aaa")
• does not contain recognizable words from the dictionary
• does not contain proper names
• contains both uppercase and lowercase characters
• contains numbers as well as letters

Tip
When you enter a strong password, the software asks you to confirm the password.
Step 4 Reenter the password.
When you enter the same password, the software accepts the password.
Step 5 Enter the configuration mode.
Step 6
Enter the IP address for the management interface. If using dual RPs, enter the IP address on both management
interfaces.
Step 7
Enter a network mask for the management interface.
Step 8 The software asks whether you want to edit the configuration. Enter 'no' to decline.
