Install the Multi-Port Monitor Software

Install the Multi-Port Monitor software using the CD that is provided in the shipping carton with the appliance. The Multi-Port Monitor software must match the the prerequisites file that is already installed on the appliance.

After the installation, we recommend that you visit the Download Center on CA Support to verify that you have the latest software version. If necessary, upgrade the Multi-Port Monitor to the latest version.

Important: The CentOS operating system is installed on the appliance. Do not install additional operating system software.

Follow these steps:

1. Press the red Power button on the front of the appliance.

   The initial Linux screen opens.

2. Log in with the following credentials:
   • User name: netqos
   • Password: changeme
3. Type the current password and a new password.
4. Type the new password again to confirm it.

   Multi-Port Monitor verifies that the password meets the security requirements. Hints are provided for passwords that are too simple.

   Note: If the following message appears, you supplied too many rejected passwords. The operating system opens the Linux login screen. Return to step 2.

   sudo  mount -t auto  /dev/dvd  /mnt/cd
   ls  /mnt/cd
   

8. Launch the setup script:
   • Use this command if the CD was auto-mounted:

     sudo  /usr/bin/php  /misc/cd/setup-mtp
