Using Configuration Mode

You can configure the router manually if you prefer not to use Auto- Install or the System Configuration Dialog. Take these steps to config- ure the router manually:

1.Connect a console terminal following the instructions in the sec- tion Connecting the Console Terminal and Modem in the chapter Installing the Cisco 2524 Router, and then power ON the router.

2.When you are prompted to enter the initial dialog, enter no to go into the normal operating mode of the router:

Would you like to enter the initial dialog? [yes]: no

3.After a few seconds you will see the user EXEC prompt (Router). Enter the enable command to enter enable mode. You can only make configuration changes in enable mode.

Router> enable

The prompt changes to the privileged EXEC (enable) prompt:

Router#

4.Enter the configure terminal command at the enable prompt to enter configuration mode:

Router# configure terminal

You can now enter any changes you want to the configuration.

5. Press <Ctrl-Z-Z> to exit configuration mode.

To see the current operating configuration, enter the show run- ning-configcommand at the enable prompt:

Router# show running-config
