Creating an Initial Device Configuration
After you create the local management connection with a console, you must assign an IP address to the
device management interface so that you can then connect the device to the network.
device management interface so that you can then connect the device to the network.
As soon as you power up the device, it boots up and asks you a series of questions to configure the device.
This section explains how to configure the IP address that is required to connect the device to the
network. To enable you to connect the device to the network, you can use the default choices for each
configuration except the IP address. You can perform the other configurations at a later time as described
in the Cisco NX-OS Fundamentals Configuration Guide, Release 4.0.

Note
You should also know the unique name needed to identify the device among the devices in the network.
To define the IP addresses required for an initial device configuration, follow these steps:
Step 1
Power up the device by turning the power switch from STBY (standby) to Power on each power supply

The software asks you to specify a password to use with the device.
Step 2
Enter a new password to use for this device.
The software checks the security strength of your password and rejects your password if it is not
considered to be a strong password. To increase the security strength of your password, make sure that
it adheres to the following guidelines:
