• Default Configuration
• Configure a Host Name
• Access the System Remotely
• Configure the Enable Password
• Configuration File Management
• File System Management
When you power up the chassis, the system performs a Power-On Self Test (POST) during which Route
Processor Module (RPM), Switch Fabric Module (SFM), and line card status LEDs blink green.The
system then loads FTOS and boot messages scroll up the terminal window during this process. No user
interaction is required if the boot process proceeds without interruption.
When the boot process is complete, the RPM and line card status LEDs remain online (green), and the
console monitor displays the EXEC mode prompt.
For details on using the Command Line Interface (CLI), see the Accessing the Command Line section in
Chapter 2, Configuration Fundamentals.
Console access
The S60 has 2 management ports available for system access: a serial console port and a USB-B port. The
USB-B ports acts exactly as the console port.
By default, the S60 sends system messages to the serial console port. However, only one console
connection can be active at a time. When both the serial console port and the USB-B port are connected,
the system defaults to the USB-B port. The console connection is considered inactive if the USB-B port is
also connected.
You can switch between console connections by physically connecting or disconnecting the cables. A
system message is displayed on the serial console prior to switching to the USB-B console. When the
USB-B cable is detached, the system returns to the serial console default.
