Chapter 3 Installing the Router
Configuring the Router
The setup command facility prompts you for basic information about your router and network, and it
creates an initial configuration file.The prompts vary, depending on your router model, the installed
interface modules, and the software image. The following example and the user entries (in bold) are
shown as examples only.
For a description of the interface numbering, see the “Interface Numbering” section on page 1-5.
Note If you make a mistake while using the setup command facility, you can exit and run the setup command
facility again. Press Ctrl-C, and enter setup at the privileged EXEC mode prompt (Router#).
Step 1 To proceed using the setup command facility, enter yes when the power-up messages have ended.
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: yes
Step 2 When the following messages appear, press Return to enter basic management setup:
At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help.
Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt.
Default settings are in square brackets '[]'.
Basic management setup configures only enough connectivity
for management of the system, extended setup will ask you
to configure each interface on the system
Would you like to enter basic management setup? [yes/no]: yes
Step 3 Enter a host name for the router (this example uses 3700):
Configuring global parameters:
Enter host name [Router]:
3700
Step 4 Enter an enable secret password. This password is encrypted (more secure) and cannot be seen when you
view the configuration:
The enable secret is a password used to protect access to
privileged EXEC and configuration modes. This password, after
entered, becomes encrypted in the configuration.
Enter enable secret: xxxxxx
Step 5 Enter an enable password that is different from the enable secret password. This password is not
encrypted (less secure) and can be seen when you view the configuration:
The enable password is used when you do not specify an
enable secret password, with some older software versions, and
some boot images.
Enter enable password: xxxxxx
Step 6 Enter the virtual terminal password, which prevents unauthenticated access to the router through ports
other than the console port:
The virtual terminal password is used to protect
access to the router over a network interface.
Enter virtual terminal password: xxxxxx
Step 7 Respond to the following prompts as appropriate for your network:
Configure SNMP Network Management? [yes]:
Community string [public]:
Step 8 A summary of the available interfaces is displayed.
