Prerequisite Tasks

Before configuring system parameters, make sure you have finished the following tasks:

Installation Guide.

• Entered values as requested by the initial system configuration script. See the “Initial System

Configuration Script” section on page 2-7 for more information.

Note You do not need to perform the configuration tasks in this chapter if you ran the complete SN 5428-2

setup configuration wizard (using the setup CLI command with no keyword), or if you ran the wizards

separately using all the setup CLI commands except setup scsi. However, you may wish to perform

some of the optional configuration procedures described in this chapter, such as configuring IP routes or

SSH access.
