Using the EXEC Command Interpreter
Before you use the setup or the configure command, you must have privileged access to the EXEC command interpreter. The system prompt for the privileged level ends with a pound sign (#) instead of an angle bracket (>).

To configure Token Ring interfaces using the setup EXEC command facility, follow the instructions in the section “Using the Setup Command.” To configure the Token Ring interfaces by using the configure EXEC command, follow the instructions in the section “Using the Configure EXEC Command” on page 39.
Using the Setup Command
The setup command facility identifies all interfaces (including the Token Ring interfaces for the ports on the 4R port adapter) that are installed and prompts you for configuration information for each installed interface. When you finish configuring one interface, the setup command facility prompts you for the next, continuing until each interface has been configured.
When you enter the setup command facility after first time startup, you must run through the entire dialog until you come to the interface you want to change. Note that when you use the setup command after first time startup, the default values indicated within the brackets in the System Configuration Dialog are the values last set using the setup command facility or left as defaults.
After you choose to continue with the setup command (by answering yes to the system configuration dialog prompt), the remainder of the script is the actual configuration process. The dialog prompts you first for global system parameters, then for configuration information for each interface. The existing configuration is displayed as the default, in brackets ([ ]), at the end of each prompt. Press Return to accept the default settings.
