password configuration. Be sure to configure a strong password as explained in this step.
Passwords are case sensitive.
If you enter a strong password, the software asks you to confirm the password.
Step 3 Enter the same password again.
If you enter the same password, the software accepts the password and begins asking a series of
configuration questions.

Repeat this step for each question until you are asked for the Mgmt0 IPv4 address.
Step 5 Enter the IP address for the management interface.
The software asks for the Mgmt0 IPv4 netmask.
Step 6 Enter a network mask for the management interface.
The software asks if you need to edit the configuration.
Step 7 Enter no.
The software asks if you need to save the configuration.
Step 8 Enter yes.

Series device.
Setting Up the Management Interface
The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series supervisor management port (MGMT ETH) provides out-of-band
management, which enables you to use the CLI or the Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) interface
to manage the device by its IP address. This port uses a 10/100/1000 Ethernet connection with an RJ-45
interface.
