Initial Configuration

To initially configure the S- K- or 7100-Series device, you must have connected a terminal to the local console port as described in the Hardware Installation Guide for your S- K- or 7100-Series device. Initial Setup contains the steps to assign an IP address and configure basic system parameters. For information on the command syntax and parameters, refer to the online help or the S-, K-, and 7100 Series CLI Reference Guide.

Note

When configuring any string or name parameter input for any command, do not use any letters with diacritical marks (an ancillary glyph added to a letter). Diacritical marked letters are not supported by SNMP.
