NX-OS - Initial Setup

I am currently doing my first steps in NX-OS world, setting up a couple of 7000's.

My first goal was to setup a management ip address for remote management:
1-Initial login is admin/admin

2-Configure the interface mgmt. This is the interface on the supervisor

interface mgmt0
ip address 10.2.2.10/24

3-Configure a default gateway for this ip address. Remember that NX-OS has by default 2 vrfs: default and management. The mgmt0 interface can only be used with the management vrf. To configure routing for management do the following:

vrf context management
ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.2.2.1

4-Diagnose

sh ip route vrf management
ping 10.2.2.1 vrf management

5-Other diagnostic commands
show ip arp
show ip traffic
show tcp statistics udp4
show ip client
show tcp client
show ip fib
show ip process
show ip route
show pktmgr interface
show frame traffic
show platform fib
show platform forwarding
show platform ip
show vrf
show vrf interface
