In this procedure we assume that the device is already connected to a power source.
For specifications on the electrical requirements for the device, see CTP150 Platform Specifications.
![]() | Caution: Evaluate the overall loading of the branch circuit before you install any equipment into a rack. |
To power on the device:
The device goes through a boot process. When a prompt appears on the console, the device is ready to be configured. If the device is new, it boots to a first boot script. If the device is already operational, it boots to a login prompt.
During initial power-on, the components of the platform run boot code, go through a series of self-diagnostic tests, and synchronize with each other.
When the tests are complete, use the LEDs on each module to determine the status of the device. Observe the module LEDs on the front or rear components.
For the first-time boot process, there is a series of login prompts that require the following settings:
The device goes into startup mode.
For example:
***** First boot of this flash. Setting up basic system configuration. ***** *********** Setting up the root password ************ Changing root's password! Changing password for user root. New password: Retype new password: BAD PASSWORD: it is too short passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. Backing up /etc to nonvolatile storage.. ************** Setting up the network *************** Configure supported protocols: 0) IPv4 Only 1) IPv6 Only 2) IPv4 & IPv6 Please select your option (rtn for 0): There are 2 ethernet devices available for use. The default device is the device through which the default gateway can be accessed. Ctp circuits can run over any ethernet device, default or not. A default device must be configured, other devices may be configured and enabled, or disabled. Here is a list to the available devices and their descriptions: eth0: 10/100/1000 Copper (right) eth1: 10/100/1000 Copper (left) What device would you like to make the IPV4 default device? (rtn for eth0): OK, eth0 (10/100/1000 Copper (right)) will be configured as IPV4 default device. Please input the hostname (return for (none)): ctp150bot ===== Configuration for eth0 (default device): Please input the ip (return for 127.0.0.1): 10.3.206.10 Please input the netmask (return for 255.255.255.0): 255.255.0.0 Please input the gateway (return for 127.0.0.1): 10.3.0.1 Please input the mtu in bytes (return for 1500): Add route to interface eth0 [n] ====================================== === OS Security level set to LOW === ====================================== Backing up /etc to nonvolatile storage..
