Using the StarOS CLI for Initial Configuration

The initial configuration consists of the following:



Configuring a context-level security administrator and hostname



Configuring the Ethernet interface on the vNIC



Configuring the system for remote CLI access via Telnet, SSH, or FTP (secured or unsecured)

This section provides instructions for performing these tasks using the CLI.

Step 1

Log into the Console port via the hypervisor.

Step 2

At the CLI prompt, enter:

[local]host_name# configure

[local]host_name(config)#

Step 3

Enter the context configuration mode by entering the following command:

[local]host_name(config)# context local

[local]host_name(config-ctx)#

The local context is the system’s management context. Contexts allow you to logically group services or interfaces. A
single context can consist of multiple services and can be bound to multiple interfaces.

Step 4

Enter the following command to configure a context-level security administrator for the system:

administrator user_name [ encrypted ] password password | [ ecs ] [ expiry-date
date_time ] [ ftp ] [ li-administration ] [ nocli ] [ noecs ] [ timeout-absolute
timeout_absolute ] [ timeout-min-absolute timeout_min_absolute ] [ timeout-idle
timeout_idle ] [ timeout-min-idle timeout_min_idle ]

Important:

You must configure a context-level security administrator during the initial configuration.

After you complete the initial configuration process and end the CLI session, if you have not configured a
security administrator, CLI access will be locked. See the Context Configuration Mode Commands chapter in
the Command Line Interface Reference for complete information about this command.

Step 5

Enter the following command at the prompt to exit the context configuration mode:

[local]host_name(config-ctx)# exit

[local]host_name(config)#

Step 6

Enter the following command to configure a hostname by which the system will be recognized on the network:

[local]host_name(config)# system hostname host_name

host_name is the name by which the system will be recognized on the network. The hostname is an alphanumeric string
of 1 through 63 characters that is case sensitive.
