Tip • For further help with AS5350 universal gateway configurations, refer to the Cisco Technical
Marketing Engineering configurations website at
http://dial.cisco.com/products/as5350/as5350-configs/index.html
• For advanced configuration topics and procedures, go to Configuring Selected 12.1 Cisco IOS
Software Features, available online at
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/access/acs_serv/as5400/index.htm
You can also view these publications on the Documentation CD-ROM that arrived with your
gateway.
• If you are experienced using the Cisco IOS software, you might find the “Where to Go Next” section
on page 3-42 a useful reference for configuration.
Configuring the Host Name, Password, and Time Stamps
The first configuration tasks you might want to execute are assign a host name to your Cisco AS5350 or
Cisco AS5400, set an encrypted password, and turn on time stamps because:
• Assigning a host name allows you to distinguish between different network devices.
• Setting an encrypted password in the configuration file adds greater security on your gateway.
• Time stamps help you trace debug output for testing connections. Not knowing exactly when an
event occurs hinders you from examining background processes.
Configure
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router> enable
Password: password
Router#
Enters enable mode (also called privileged EXEC
mode). Enters the password. You are in enable
mode when the prompt changes to
Router#.
Step 2
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.
End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Enters global configuration mode. You are in
global configuration mode when the prompt
changes to
Router(config)#.
Step 3
Router(config)# hostname AS5400
AS5400(config)#
Changes the name of the gateway to a meaningful
name. Substitute your host name for
AS5400.
Step 4
AS5400(config)# enable secret guessme
Enters an enable secret password. This password
provides access to privileged EXEC mode. When
you type enable at the EXEC prompt (
AS5350> or
AS5400>
), you must enter the enable secret
password to gain access to configuration mode.
Substitute your enable secret for guessme.
