Using the Setup Command Facility
This chapter describes how to use the setup command facility to configure your router. The setup
command facility prompts you to enter information needed to start a router functioning quickly. The
facility steps you through a basic configuration, including local-area network (LAN) and wide-area
network (WAN) interfaces. The following sections are included:
• Before Starting Your Router, page 2-1
• Using the setup Command Facility, page 2-2
• Configuring Global Parameters, page 2-2
• Configuring Interface Parameters, page 2-5
• Completing the Configuration, page 2-23
• Where to Go Next, page 2-24
If you prefer to configure the router manually or you wish to configure a module or interface that is not
included in the setup command facility, proceed to “Chapter3, “Configuring with the Command-Line
Interface,” for step-by-step instructions.
Before Starting Your Router
Before you power on your router and begin to use the setup command facility, make sure you follow
these steps:
Step1 Set up the hardware as described in the documentation appropriate to your router.
Step2 Configure your PC terminal emulation program for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1stop bit.
Step3 Determine which network protocols you are supporting (for example, AppleTalk, IP, Novell IPX, and
so on).
Step4 Determine the following for each network protocol:
• Addressing plan
• Which WAN protocols you will run on each interface (for example, Frame Relay, HDLC, X.25, and
so on)
