Configuring the Router for a Single RSP8

If you have a single RSP8, you can configure your system according to the Cisco IOS release appropriate for your router. See the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation set that corresponds to the software release installed on your Cisco hardware at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/index.htm.

If you have more than one RSP8 (or an RSP8 and an RSP16), and you are using a Cisco 7507 or a Cisco 7507-MX router or a Cisco 7513 or a Cisco 7513-MX router, you must configure your router for either high system availability (HSA), the default (see the “Configuring High System Availability” section on page 25), or high availability (HA) (see the “Enabling High Availability Features” section on page 41).

Using the EXEC Command Interpreter

Before you configure your system using the EXEC-level commands, you must enter the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter using the enable command. The system prompts you for a password if one has been set. The system prompt for the privileged EXEC level ends with a pound sign (#) instead of an angle bracket (>).

At the console terminal, enter the privileged EXEC level as follows:

Step 1 At the EXEC prompt (>), use the enable command. The EXEC command interpreter prompts you for a privileged-level password, as follows:

Router> enable

Password:

Step 2 Type the password (the password is case sensitive). For security purposes, the password is not displayed.

Step 3 When you specify the correct password, the system displays the privileged-level system prompt (#) as follows:

Router#

The pound sign (#) at the system prompt indicates the privileged level of the EXEC command interpreter, from which you can execute EXEC-level commands.

This completes the procedure for using the EXEC command interpreter.

For configuration information and support, refer to the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation set that corresponds to the software release installed on your Cisco hardware.
