Cisco Systems 700 manual Starting Point, Password and Secret, Additional Reference, Set def

Password and Secret

There are several types of authentication, such as Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) and Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP). To avoid confusion, the PAP password is referred to as password, and the CHAP secret password is referred to as secret. The PAP password is plain text. The CHAP secret is encrypted.

Additional Reference

For more information on the commands, basics of networking, profiles and so forth, refer to the Cisco 700 Series Router Command Reference publication. The Cisco 700 Series Command Reference publication also contains advanced configuration examples.

Starting Point

This section shows how to set the router to default values and provide basic configuration information used in all configurations. All of the example configurations assume default values unless otherwise indicated.

Step 1 Use the set default command as follows to be sure that you begin with all default values when configuring your router:

>set def

System-level parameters and the parameters in the permanent profiles are set to their default values. Existing user-defined profiles are deleted and the router reboots.

Step 2 Enter the set directorynumber command (usually a ten-digit local number with no spaces or dashes) to set the ISDN directory numbers.

>set 1 directory number 4085551234

>set 2 directory number 4085551235

You are ready to set Service Profile Identifier (SPID) automatic detection. A SPID is a number provided by the ISDN carrier to identify the line configuration of the BRI service. Each SPID points to line setup and configuration information.
