Initial setup
1. Using the console port and a terminal emulator, login to the AppResponse 11 Command-line Interface (CLI) using SSH and the default sign in name and password.
login as: admin
host’s password:admin
Last login: Thu Nov 3 15:02:52 2016 from 10.18.41.255
host >
2. Access the setup wizard in the CLI. Text below in blue demonstrates useful CLI output when special keys are used, as explained following the example CLI output below.
host > ?
enable Enter enable mode
exit config mode or logout
no Negate or clear certain configuration options
show Display system configuration or statistics
host > enable
host # ?
configure Enter configuration mode
disable Leave enable mode
exit Exit config mode or logout
no Negate or clear certain configuration options
show Display system configuration or statistics
host # conTabfigure terminal
host (config) # ?
exit Exit config mode or logout
interface Configure network interfaces
ip Configure IP settings
no Negate or clear certain configuration options
reboot Reboot the system immediately
show Display system configuration or statistics
shutdown Shut down the system immediately
storage Configure storage settings
user Add/Modify a user account
wizard Run the configuration wizard
host (config) # wizard
----------------------------------------
Hostname [localhost]:
Different CLI commands are available in different CLI Modes, as indicated by the CLI prompt. The following keys provide helpful information while using the AppResponse 11 CLI. The example entries above include these keys and their output in blue.
a. Use the “?” key for a list of available CLI commands.
b. Use the Tab key to show the next entries on a command line.
c. Use the Tab key to auto-complete a CLI entry (see above “host # conTabfigure terminal” for an example of Tab completion).
3. The wizard is used to configure the appliance’s base interfaces to connect to your management network. Once established, the AppResponse 11 web user interface (web UI) is used to complete the configuration, manage users, and monitor network traffic.
The wizard prompts include default settings shown in [brackets]. Press Enter to use the default and move to the next setting. Note: The CLI only asks for settings where needed, so CLI sessions may differ from session to session. Here is an example output (continuing the wizard session shown in step 2 above).
Hostname [localhost]: appresponse11
Primary interface DHCP enabled [yes]:
Aux interface enabled [no]:
Timezone (enter * to list) [America/Los_Angeles]:
4. When you have completed the settings, the following summary appears:
You have entered the following configuration:
1: Hostname: appresponse11
2: Primary interface DHCP enabled: yes
3: Aux interface enabled: no
4: Timezone (enter * to list): America/Los_Angeles
To change an answer, enter the step number to return to it
Enter 'save' to save changes and exit
Enter 'quit' to quit without changing
5. When you have finished the configuration, enter exit to all CLI commands until the SSH session end.
host (config) # exit
6. If you cannot open the AppResponse 11web UI, rerun the wizard to revise the settings as needed.
The initial setup wizard configures the IP management network. The bullets below contain specific information for each setting:
• The hostname (without the domain) accepts lowercase alphanumeric characters but no spaces.
• Enter yes to use DHCP for the primary management port or no to use a static IP configuration, and press Enter. When setting up an address to be provisioned by DHCP, refer to the MAC address of the management port (primary or aux) on the label on top of the appliance.
• For a static IP configuration, specify the IP address, the IP net mask, and the default gateway.
• You choose whether to use the second management port (aux). Enter yes to enable aux. If aux is enabled, configure aux for either DHCP or a static IP configuration.
• Configure the DNS servers (as a comma- or space-separated list) and the domain name of the appliance. Note: If DHCP is used for the primary management network configuration, these steps are skipped (because they are configured by the DHCP server).
• Set the time zone of the appliance. Entering an asterisk (*) lists the available time zone areas. To specify a particular time zone, enter the full time zone including the area (for example, Europe/Rome).
• SSH, NTP, and PTP are configured under Administration in the AppResponse 11 menu bar in the web UI.
If you have used DHCP to provision an IP address for AppResponse 11, at the console prompt enter interface show primary to find the IP address of the primary management port.
host (config) # show interfaces primary
Interface primary state:
Up: yes
Interface type: Ethernet
DHCP enabled: yes
IP address: 10.33.159.73
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
DHCPv6 enabled: no
Link-local address: ffff::250:56ff:fe88:a672/64
Speed: 10000 Mbit/Sec
Duplex: full
MTU: 1500
HW address: 00:50:56:ff:a6:72
Link: yes
host (config) #
Ensure that you can ping this address from another workstation on the management network before logging out of the command line interface.
After you save the settings and exit the wizard, the appliance is accessible on the management network.
