Many privileged-level EXEC commands are used to set operating parameters. To enter the privileged-level:

Step 1 Enter the enable command at the EXEC prompt (>), and then enter a privileged-level password, as follows:

Router> enable

Password:

Router#

Step 2 Enter the configure terminal command to

enter configuration mode:

Router# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)#

Step 3 Enter the config-registervalue configuration command, where value is a hexadecimal number preceded by 0x, as in the following example:

Router(config)# config-register0x010F

Step 4 Press Ctrl-Zto exit configuration mode. Step 5 Save the new settings to NVRAM. Enter

the copy running-config startup-config command.

Note The new settings do not take effect until the system software is reloaded by rebooting the router.

Step 6 Enter the show version command to view the configuration register value currently in effect. The value is displayed on the last line of the screen display:

Configuration register is 0x141 (will be 0x101 at next reload)

Step 7 Reboot the router, and then perform a basic configuration using:

•AutoInstall (proceed to Step 8)

•Setup facility (proceed to the “Perform a Basic Configuration Using Setup” section on page 19)

•Configuration mode (proceed to the “Perform a Basic Configuration Using Configuration Mode” section on page 23)

Note Configuration register changes take effect only when the system reloads, such as when you issue a reload command from the console.

Configure Using AutoInstall

Step 8 Connect to the network using a serial (WAN) cable to the channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU).

Step 9 Contact your system administrator to verify that the TCP/IP host on your network is preconfigured.

Step 10 Press Ctrl-Zto exit configuration mode. Step 11 At the # prompt, enter the copy

running-config startup-config command

to save the configuration to NVRAM as

follows:

Hostname# copy running-config startup-config

This completes the procedure for performing a basic
