This document consists of the following sections:

Important Notes

The following sections provide important information regarding the operation of the
Cisco Metro 1500 series system.

Default Password

The default password for the root, netadmin, ppp, and user accounts is ChgMeNOW. For security reasons, you should change all four account passwords as soon as possible. Log in as root and use the password command to change the passwords for all the accounts.

If you do not receive a password prompt, an unsupported adapter is being used to connect to the
Cisco Metro 1500 serial port. Use only the supplied DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter that shipped with the unit.

Operations Guide Corrections

On page 2-9 and page 4-20 of the Cisco Metro 1500 Series Operations Guide, illustrations of the rear of the chassis have been updated to reflect a change in design. Figure 1 shows an updated view of the rear of the chassis.

Caveats

This section describes open caveats in the Cisco Metro 1500 series system.

If you hotswap the network element management interface (NEMI) module in a Cisco Metro 1500 series system, the metro1500PSTable entry in the SNMP table does not say "ON". This error is intermittent; it does not happen each time you hotswap a NEMI. As a workaround, wait for some time until the SNMP daemon polls all the entries. (CSCdr00712)
