Cisco Systems 2600 manual Enter a hostname for the router this example uses

Chapter 3 Installing the Router

Configuring the Router

Step 3 Enter a hostname for the router (this example uses 2600):

Configuring global parameters:

Enter hostname [Router]: 2600

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 is displayed:

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

	Current interface summary
	Controller	Timeslots	D-Channel Configurable modes Status
	T1 0/0	24	23	pri/channelized		Administratively up
	Interface			IP-Address	OK?	Method	Status	Prol
	FastEthernet0/0			unassigned	NO	unset	up	up
	FastEthernet0/1			unassigned	NO	unset	up	dow
Step 9	Select one of the available interfaces for connecting the router to the management network:
	Enter interface name used to connect to the
	management network from the above interface summary: fastethernet0/0
Step 10	Respond to the following prompts as appropriate for your network:
	Configuring interface FastEthernet0/0:
	Use the 100 Base-TX (RJ-45) connector? [yes]: yes
	Operate in full-duplex mode? [no]: no
	Configure IP on this interface? [yes]: yes
	IP address for this interface: 172.1.2.3
	Subnet mask for this interface [255.255.0.0] : 255.255.0.0
	Class B network is 172.1.0.0, 16 subnet bits; mask is /16
