Cisco Systems 2612, 2600XM quick start Enter a host name for the router this example uses

Page 21

Step 3 Enter a host name for the router (this example uses 2610):

Configuring global parameters:

Enter host name [Router]: 2610

Step 4 Enter an enable secret password. This password is encrypted (more secure) and cannot be seen when viewing 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 viewing 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 appears:

Note The interface numbering that appears is dependent on the type of Cisco modular router platform and on the installed interface modules and cards.
