Configure the Management Console Server

Use this procedure to configure the server that hosts the management console.

Follow these steps:

1. Connect one end of the power cables to the power outlets on the server.
2. Connect the other end of the power cables to two separate power supplies.
3. Connect one end of the management cable to a NIC on the server.
4. Connect the other end of the management cable to a switch that enables network access to the management console.
5. Turn on the server.
6. When configuring an appliance from CA, log in to the appliance with the following credentials:
   • User name: netqos
   • Password: Changepassword1

   We recommend changing the default password immediately.

7. Configure network connections for the NICs.
8. Assign IP addresses to the NICs.
