  2. Assigns the IP address for the CPM and CCM Ethernet port.
  3. Creates static routes for the CPM/CCM Ethernet port.
  4. Sets the console port speed.
  5. Configures the Domain Name System (DNS) name and DNS servers.
  6. Configures the primary, secondary, tertiary configuration source.
  7. Configures the primary, secondary, and tertiary image source.
  8. Configures the license source.
  9. Configures operational parameters.
