Chapter 5 Operating the Cisco ICS 7750
Accessing the System
To enable ICS System Manager to properly function as a system management
tool, it is important that you use ICSConfig or ICS System Manager, as
appropriate, rather than the Cisco IOS CLI, when you enter key system
parameters.
Except for the procedures listed in “ICSConfig Tasks,” you can enter all
Cisco IOS CLI commands that are available for use in any Cisco IOS software
release that is intended for use on the Cisco ICS 7750.
ICSConfig Tasks
You should always use ICSConfig for the following tasks:
• Passwords
– Changing the login password, which gives ICS System Manager
continued Telnet access to system cards
– Changing the Windows 2000 administrator password, which grants those
with administrator privileges continued access to SPE310s
– Changing the enable secret or enable password, which makes it possible
for administrators to enter certain Cisco IOS commands
• Card configurations
– Assigning or changing the IP addresses or subnet mask of system cards
Note When multiple VLANs are configured, the IP addresses and
subnet masks of the FastEthernet subinterfaces need to be
configured via the CLI.
