A Cisco TelePresence MCU MSE 8510 cluster consists of a Cisco TelePresence MCU MSE 8050 Supervisor 

Blade and an MCU MSE 8510 blade. After the basic information is configured, HTTP access is enabled by default. 

The supervisor web interface can be accessed by pointing the browser to http://<MCU_Address>, where 

<MCU_Address> is the IP address or hostname of your server. The default password for the admin user is blank 

(no password). If you cannot log in to the web GUI, Cisco Prime Collaboration will not be able to log in either. 

Unless this problem is fixed, Cisco Prime Collaboration will not be able to successfully manage the MCU MSE 

Supervisor. To log in to the web interface of the MCU MSE 8510 blade: 

1.  Log in to the supervisor web interface. 

2.  Go to Hardware > Blades and click the IP address of the MCU MSE 8510 blade. 

3. 

Click Log in, and enter the username “admin” with no password. 

You can edit SNMP settings by logging in to the Codian MCU web interface. Navigate to Network > SNMP and go 

to the bottom portion of the page, which has the SNMP read only and read/write strings. Change or edit them as 

needed, and click Update SNMP Settings to apply the changes. 

A dedicated user with minimum role of diagnostic technician is required for managing the Multipoint Switch within 

Cisco Prime Collaboration. This user can be configured in the Multipoint Switch web user interface when logged in 

as admin. An admin user is not required by Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance to manage the Multipoint Switch. 

You can access the Multipoint Switch through a web browser (preferably using Internet Explorer, if possible) by 

pointing the browser to https://<ctms_serveraddress>, where <ctms_serveraddress> is the IP address or hostname 

of the Multipoint Switch. 

SNMP is enabled by default, and it monitors the Multipoint Switch system status (go to Troubleshoot > System 

Resources for system status details). You can designate a particular server where SNMP trap messages are 

gathered and stored. You configure all SNMP settings through the Multipoint Switch CLI commands. Configuration 

requires username and password authentication. 

The following default SNMP settings are also enabled by default: 

● 

SNMPv3 username set to "mrtg": This name is for internal use of the system and should not be deleted. 

● 

SNMPv2c username set to "public”: This name is for internal use of the system and should not be deleted. 

● 

No trap receiver is configured. Use Multipoint Switch CLI commands to configure SNMP trap receiver 

information. 

Use SSH in the Multipoint Switch to configure SNMP using the CLI. The CLI commands to configure SNMP read 

only and read/write are as follows: 

set snmp user add 2c snmpro r 

set snmp user add 2c snmprw rw
