Setting Up Initial Parameters

For the SCE platform to communicate properly, set basic global parameters. The following is a summary of the initial setup

parameters and commands. For more information, refer to the Cisco SCE8000 Software Configuration Guide.

• IP address and subnet mask of the Cisco SCE8000 platform. This is the IP address used by the GBE management interface.

• IP address of the default gateway.

• Hostname—The hostname is used to identify the SCE platform. It appears as part of the CLI prompt and is also returned

as the value of the MIB-II object sysName.

The maximum length is 20 characters.

–

The default hostname is SCE8000.

–

• Passwords for user, admin, and root level access. These are authorization-level passwords, not individual passwords. These

passwords may be encrypted.

Passwords must meet the following criteria:

Minimum length—4 characters

–

Maximum length—100 characters

–

Begin with an alpha character

• The default password for all levels is cisco.

• System clock—Current date and time. The clock and the calendar must always be synchronized.

• Time zone—The name or ID of the time zone along with the number of hours offset from UTC.

• Domain name server—Default domain name, which is used to complete unqualified host names, as well as up to three

domain name servers, which are used for DNS lookup.

You must also enable DNS lookup.

• RDR formatter destination—The SCE platform generates raw data records (RDRs) and sends them to the specified

destinations (external collection systems) through the RDR formatter. You can configure up to eight RDR formatter

destinations. For each destination, specify the IP address and port number.
