Chapter 3 Booting and Configuring the CSS
Logging in to the CSS
The CSS then enables you to access the OffDM menu.
Would you like to access the Offline Diagnostic Monitor? (Y <cr>)
To access the OffDM menu, enter y. If you do not wish to access the OffDM menu
after seeing this message, wait for the CSS to boot.
Logging in to the CSS
After the CSS has completed the boot process, it displays the start-up banner,
copyright, and login prompt. If a startup-config is present, the CSS displays the
following message:
Press CTRL-C to abort running the startup-config
When you abort running the startup-config, the CSS does not use the existing
startup-config. It enables you to log in and reconfigure the CSS to create a new
running-config. Use this feature if you misconfigure your startup-config and it
becomes unusable.
When you log in from:
• A console, the CSS prompts you with the following message:
Press any key to log in.
• A Telnet session, this message is not displayed.
The CSS prompts you to enter a username and password. Enter the default user
name admin and the default password system as lowercase text, or enter the
administrative username and password you configured during the boot process or
using the OffDM menu. For security purposes, the CSS does not display the
password.
User Access Verification
Username:
Password:
If you connect a console to the CSS after the CSS boots, your screen will be blank.
Press <Enter> to display the username and password prompts.
If the CSS has never been configured, a configuration script runs automatically
and prompts you to enter configuration information. Subsequent logins to the CSS
do not automatically start the configuration script.
