Configuring with the Command-Line Interface

This chapter describes how to use the Cisco IOS software command-line interface (CLI) to configure basic Cisco VG224 functionality.

This chapter presents the following major topics:

Configuring the Host Name and Password, page 3-2

Configuring Fast Ethernet Interfaces, page 3-4

Saving Configuration Changes, page 3-5

Where to Go Next, page 3-5

Follow the procedures in this chapter to configure the Cisco VG224 manually or, if you want to, change the configuration after you have run the setup command facility (see “Using the setup Command” section on page 2-2).

This chapter does not describe every configuration possible—only a small portion of the most commonly used configuration procedures. For advanced configuration topics, refer to the Cisco IOS configuration guide and command reference publications. See “Obtaining Documentation” section on page x.

Note If you skipped the previous chapter, Chapter 2, “Using the setup Command,” and you have never configured a Cisco VG224, go back to that chapter and read it now. The chapter contains important information you need to configure your Cisco VG224 successfully.
