Step 4 Make sure you enter the password you wish to assign for the admin username.
---- System Admin Account Setup ----
Enter the password for "admin":
Tip If you create a password that is short and easy to decipher, then your password is rejected. Be
sure to configure a strong password. Passwords are case-sensitive. You must explicitly configure
a password that meets the requirements listed in the “Configuring User Accounts” section in the
Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Quick Configuration Guide.
Note If you are running the switch setup utility for the first-time, it starts automatically. If this is not
the first-time configuration, you are required to enter setup at the system prompt.
Note If you do not wish to answer a previously configured question, or if you wish to skip answers to
any questions, press Enter. If a default answer is not available (for example, the switch name),
the switch uses what was previously configured and skips to the next question.
Step 5 Enter yes to enter setup mode.
This setup utility will guide you through the basic configuration of the system. Setup
configures only enough connectivity for management of the system.
*Note: setup is mainly used for configuring the system initially,
when no configuration is present. So setup always assumes system
defaults and not the current system configuration values.
Press Enter at anytime to skip a dialog. Use ctrl-c at anytime
to skip the remaining dialogs.
