• y to configure an IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the
Ethernet Management port. The CSS prompts you for an IP address, a subnet
mask, then a default gateway. You must enter a valid IP address or the CSS
repeats the prompt until you do. The CSS does not accept an all zero IP
address.
The Ethernet Management port IP address must be on a different
Note
subnet from any other CSS VLAN circuit subnet. If you do not make
this IP address unique, you will not be able to access the port.
Enter IP Address [0.0.0.0]:
Enter Subnet Mask [0.0.0.0]:
Enter Default Gateway [0.0.0.0]:
• n to accept the default IP address (0.0.0.0), subnet mask (0.0.0.0), and default
gateway (0.0.0.0) and disable the port. The CSS does not prompt you for an
IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
The Ethernet Management port default IP address of 0.0.0.0 disables the
Management port. To enable the Ethernet Management port, use the Offline
Diagnostic Monitor (Offline DM) menu or specify the ip address command in
boot mode. Refer to the Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide for
details on setting the Ethernet Management port IP address.
The CSS allows you to change the default username and password.

password. For enhanced security we recommend that you change the
defaults. Do you want to change the defaults now (yes,no):
