Configuring Edge : Basic steps for configuring Edge : Running the configuration wizard
  
Running the configuration wizard
1. Open vSphere and connect to the Edge VM console.
2. Power on the Edge VM.
3. Log in as administrator user (admin) and enter the default password (password). For example:
login as: admin
Sent username "admin"
password: password
The configuration wizard automatically starts after you have entered the login and default password. After you have established a connection, you configure the Edge appliance using the configuration wizard.
4. If you have a SteelCentral Controller for SteelHead (SCC) appliance installed in your network to manage multiple Edge appliances, you can use it to automatically configure them:
Do you want to auto-configure using a SCC? no
If you enter yes, you are prompted for the SCC hostname or IP address. The hostname or IP address is used to contact the SCC. The default value is riverbedcmc. If you enter no, the wizard continues.
If you mistakenly enter yes, to return to the wizard from the CLI, enter the configuration jump-start command from configuration mode. For detailed information, see Restarting the configuration wizard.
5. To start the configuration wizard, type yes at the system prompt and press Enter.
Do you want to use the configuration wizard for initial configuration? yes
Press ? for help; press Ctrl+B to go back to the previous step.
6. Complete the configuration wizard steps on the branch office Edge appliance as described in this table.
