Turn On the System for the First Time

After powering up, the NBA will begin outputting text on the Console port. When the ROM password prompt appears, type N or let the prompt time out. You do not need a ROM password.

  1. If the system has not been powered up before, go to step 3.

    If the system has been powered up before and you have previously logged in as ‘admin’, go to step 2.

  2. If the system has been powered up before and no longer prompts you to log in as ‘admin’, you must now log in as ‘admin’ anyway.

    You must now manually enter the commands to set:

    MCCP subnet

    This is the internal network address for the system. You can use the default unless it matches a subnet already in use by the system elsewhere. If so, you will need to change the default. Go to step 4.

    IP address of the Management Network Port and network mask

    The management port network address that you provide should allow access to the CA DLP NBA software package. You will provide this address in step 5.

    Example inputs are shown below:

    System Name: system.ca.com
    
    CPU-X login: admin
    Password:
    Last login: Tue Jan 30 08:01:00 on /dev/tts/0
    
    You are now logged in to CPU-X of system.ca.com
    
    BiviOS Version 3.2.5.9 (Build 200803051300) CLI
    
    Loading ................................
    
    system[admin:]> configure interfaces
    system[admin:interfaces]> set interface mgt0 address 10.0.12.17 netmask 255.255.0.0
    Conflict checking interface address...Done!
    system[admin:interfaces]> configure system
    
    Do you want to perform a "commit boot" on your changes? (y/n) [y] y
    Interface configuration committed.
    system[admin:system]> set mccp subnet address 10.10.10.0
    * To change the MCCP subnet to 10.10.10.0, the system must be rebooted.
    
    Do you want to commit your changes and reboot now? (y/n) [y] y
    
  3. If the system has not been powered up before, it will prompt you to log in as ‘admin’ and then lead you through the initialization steps. The most important of these is entering the IP address of the Management Network Port. There is no password configured at this stage, so you will not be asked for one:
    ===============================================================================
      Please log in as user 'admin' to perform the initial setup routine
    ===============================================================================
    CPU-X login: admin
    
  4. You will be asked for the internal network address for the system. You can use the default unless it matches a subnet already in use by the system elsewhere. If so, you will need to change the default.
    To finalize your installation, please answer the following questions. When you are done, the machine will be rebooted and then ready to use.
    
    The MCCP subnet needs to be a class C subnet that is only used internally. This cannot conflict with any traffic forwarded through this device, and also cannot conflict with any interfaces of this device.
    
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    MCCP subnet address    ? [10.10.10.0]
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Please verify your settings:
    
      MCCP subnet address  : 10.10.10.0
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Is this correct? (y/n) [n] y
    
  5. Provide the values for the management port network address to give access to your FTP server that contains the CA DLP NBA software package:
    IP address for management port?  [10.0.12.17]
    Network mask for management port?  [255.255.0.0]
    Broadcast address for management port?  [10.0.255.255]
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Please verify your settings:
    
    IP address for management port: 10.0.12.17
    Network mask for management port: 255.255.0.0
    Broadcast address for management port: 10.0.255.255
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Is this correct? (y/n) [n] y
    
  6. You do not need to specify a default gateway; enter 'n'.
    You may enter a default gateway now for your management port, or choose N 
    and configure all routes later using 'configure staticroutes'.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Do you want to specify a default gateway now? (y/n) [n] n
    
  7. Enter a hostname for your NBA installation. The actual name is not important, but it must follow the format of hostname.domain.com (for example, nba17.ca.com). When asked to confirm, enter 'y'.
    Hostname (incl. domain name)? [] nba17.ca.com
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Please verify your settings:
    
     Hostname (incl. domain name): nba17.ca.com
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Is this correct? (y/n) [n] y 
    
  8. You do not need to specify a name server, enter 'n'.
    Do you want to specify a name server now? (y/n) [n] n
    
  9. When prompted, enter the default passwords: root for the root user and admin for the admin user. You can change these later if required.
    Next, please provide passwords for the standard system users:
    
    
        root-> Privileged account for use by experts, in emergencies only
        admin-> System administrator
    

    You will see a warning about password strength; enter the same password again at the "Re-enter…" prompt to override the warning:

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    Password for user: root
    New password:
    Bad password: too short
    Re-enter new password:
    
    Password for user: admin
    New password:
    Bad password: too simple
    Re-enter new password:
    Set the timezone at the next prompt. You can change this later if required.
    

    When asked to confirm, type 'y'.

  10. The system will now restart again. You do not need to set a ROM password. Do not press Esc at the ROM Menu prompt.

    Wait until the ‘CPU-X login:’ prompt appears.

When you have completed these tasks, continue with the NBA software installation procedure.
