For initial login, use admin as the default user name, and Admin123# as the default password. Immediately after the initial login, the system prompts you to change the default password. You
must set a strong password as per the on-screen instructions to proceed with the application. All other operations are blocked
until default password is changed. API will return 401 unauthorized error if the default password is not reset.
You must follow the rules to create a strong password:
-
Must contain at least one upper case and one lower case letter.
-
Must contain at least one number and one special character.
-
Must contain seven characters or greater. Length should be between 7 and 32 characters.
-
Cannot contain whitespace and some special characters ( ! @ : ; ,).
You can change the default password in three ways:
-
Using the Cisco Enterprise NFVIS portal (for details, see the Cisco Enterprise NFVIS Portal Online Help)
-
Using the rbac authentication users user change-password command.
-
Using PnP (for details, see the Cisco Network Plug-n-Play Support).
Note |
To commit the target configuration to the active (running) configuration, use the commit command in any configuration mode in Cisco Enterprise NFVIS Release 3.5.1 and later. Changes made during a configuration
session are inactive until the commit command is entered. By default, the commit operation is pseudo-atomic, meaning that all changes must succeed for the entire
commit operation to succeed.

Connecting to the System
The two interfaces that connect the user to the system are the WAN interface and the management interface. By default, the
WAN interface has the DHCP configuration and the management interface is configured with the static IP address 192.168.1.1.
If the system has a DHCP server connected to the WAN interface, the WAN interface will receive the IP address from this server.
You can use this IP address to connect to the system.
You can connect to the server locally (with an Ethernet cable) using the static management IP address; to connect to the box
remotely using a static IP address, the default gateway needs to be configured.
You can connect to the system in the following three ways:
-
Using the local portal—After the initial login, you are prompted to change the default password.
-
Using the KVM console—After the initial login using the default password, you are prompted to change the default password.
After logging in, enable the command prompt. Without enabling the prompt, you will not be able to execute any commands.
nfvis> enable
-
Using PnP—After the initial provisioning through PnP, the configuration file pushed by the PNP server must include the new
password for the default user (admin).
Performing Static Configuration without DHCP
If you want to disable DHCP and use static configuration, initial configuration is done by setting the WAN IP address and/or
management IP address, and the default gateway..
To perform initial configuration on the system without using DHCP:
configure terminal
system settings mgmt ip address 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
system settings wan ip address 209.165.201.22 255.255.255.0
system settings default-gw 209.165.201.1
commit
Note |
When an interface is configured with a static IP address, DHCP is automatically disabled on that interface.
|
Now you can either use the management IP or WAN IP to access the portal.
Configuring DHCP on the WAN or Management Interface
You can configure DHCP either on the WAN interface or the management interface; you cannot configure DHCP on both the interfaces
simultaneously.
To configure DHCP on any one of the interfaces (WAN or management), delete the default gateway.
To configure DHCP on the management interface:
configure terminal
no system settings default-gw
system settings mgmt dhcp
commit
exit
hostaction mgmt-dhcp-renew
To configure DHCP on the WAN interface:
configure terminal
no system settings default-gw
system settings wan dhcp
commit
exit
hostaction wan-dhcp-renew
Verifying Initial Configuration
The show system settings-native command is used to verify initial configuration.
Extract from the output of the show system settings-native command when both WAN and management interfaces have a static configuration:
system settings-native mgmt ip-info interface lan-br
system settings-native mgmt ip-info ipv4_address 192.168.1.2
system settings-native mgmt ip-info netmask 255.255.255.0
