Chapter 2 Installing the EM

Configuring the System

Configuring the system involves the following steps:

• Configuring the Device, page 2-7

• Enabling Traps on the Device, page 2-8

• Setting Up a Workstation as a TFTP Server, page 2-9

Configuring the Device

To enable the EM to communicate with routers, certain configuration tasks must be performed. Until

these configuration tasks are completed, the EM cannot contact routers and no management can begin.

Before you can start using the EM to manage the supported Cisco routers, you must meet the following

requirements:

• Password—Current privileged command password must be configured

• Ethernet—Management Ethernet port must be configured

• SNMP—Router and interfaces must be SNMP–manageable

• Telnet—Router should accept a Telnet session

To meet these requirements, perform the following tasks from a console window, as appropriate.

Step 1 If there is no current privileged command password, enter commands as follows:

Router> enable

Router# configure terminal

Router (config)# enable password Enable Password

Step 2 If the router does not have a configured management Ethernet port, enter commands as follows:

Router> enable

Password: Enable Password

Router# configure terminal

Router (config)# interface interface type

Router (config-if)# ip address Address Netmask

Router (config-if)# exit

Router (config)# exit

Router#

Step 3 To enable access to the device, enter commands as follows:

Router (config)# ip default-gateway <gateway IP (#.#.#.#)>

Router (config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 (gateway IP)

Router (config)# exit

Router#

The Sun machine running the EM should now be able to ping the router.

Step 4 If the router is not SNMP–manageable, enter commands as follows:

Router> enable

Password: Enable Password

Router# configure terminal

Router (config)# snmp-server community Community String Read Only ro

Router (config)# snmp-server community Community String Read Write rw

Router (config)# exit
