Initial Configuration
Before you can use the NAM for network analysis, you must log into the NAM root account and
configure the following:
• IP address
• Subnet mask
• IP broadcast address
• IP host name
• Default gateway
• Domain name
• If applicable, the DNS name server.
• If using an external SNMP manager to communicate with the NAM you must configure the
following:
–
SNMP MIB variables
–
Access control for the SNMP agent
–
System group settings on the NAM
• Start the web server using the ip http server enable command.
To configure these parameters for the NAM, perform these steps in privileged mode:
Step 1 Verify that the NAM is installed and that the power is on by entering this command:
Console> show module mod
Step 2 Establish a console session with the NAM by entering this command:
Console> (enable) session mod
Step 3 At the login prompt, type root to log into the root account.
Step 4 At the password prompt, type root as the root password.
Note If you have not changed the password from the factory-set default, a warning message
displays. To change the password from the default, see the “Changing and Recovering the
NAM CLI Passwords” section on page 48 for more information.
