Chapter 4 System Startup and Basic System Configuration

Configuring the Router

Note If you did not change the configuration register setting, the next reload will revert to the default configuration register setting (0x0102). This setting causes the system to boot Cisco IOS software from a flash memory card inserted in slot 0 the next time you boot the router. See the “Configuring the Software Configuration Register” section on page 4-31for additional information.

Configuring the Router

You can perform a basic configuration for your router by using one of the following methods:

•Method 1—Using the setup facility or the setup command.

During the initial startup of an unconfigured router, the system automatically runs the setup facility, which enables you to begin configuring your router manually. The setup facility presents a structured, interactive script that guides you through the process.

You can also invoke the setup facility at any time to alter previously entered configuration information by issuing the setup command at the privileged EXEC mode prompt (Milo#).

This method is described in the “Using Setup for Configuration Changes” section on page 4-18.

•Method 2—Using global configuration mode through the Cisco IOS command line user interface.

If you prefer not to use the interactive script of the setup facility to configure the router, you can configure it manually in global configuration mode. This method requires you to enter configuration commands on a line-by-line basis at the console without being prompted by a configuration script. This method is described in the “Using Global Configuration Mode” section on page 4-27.
