After installing the NetMRI appliance, follow the instructions below to configure it to run on your network.

1. Log in to VMware Virtual Center, ESX, Workstation, etc.
2. Power on the NetMRI virtual appliance you imported earlier.
3. Open the console view of your NetMRI virtual appliance.
4. After the initial boot, you will see a license agreement. Read the agreement (press Space to page down). At the prompt, enter `yes`, and then press **Enter**.
5. The boot will continue for about five minutes as the NetMRI application configures itself.
6. When the blue screen is displayed, select **Log in** using the arrow keys, and then press **Enter**.
7. Enter the default user name `admin` and the default password `admin`. This puts you in the admin shell of NetMRI, a command-line interface.
8. Complete the installation process. <span style="color: #000000">For more information, see </span>[*Configuring NetMRI*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/OCDeployGuide/pages/142902067)<span style="color: #000000">.</span>
