provides you with a high-level view of the configuration and guides you through the configuration change process.

Additionally, if you are not familiar with the command parser, the setup command facility is a particularly valuable tool because it asks you the questions required to make configuration changes.

Note:

If you use setup to modify a configuration because you

 

have added or modified the hardware, be sure to verify the

 

physical connections using the show version

 

command. Also, verify the logical port assignments using

 

the show running-configcommand to ensure that

 

you configure the proper port. Refer to your platform's

 

hardware publications for details on physical and logical

 

port assignments.

To enter the setup command facility, type this command in privileged

EXEC mode:

setup

When you enter the setup command facility after first-time startup, an interactive dialog called the System Configuration Dialog appears on the system console screen. The System Configuration Dialog guides you through the configuration process. It prompts you first for global parameters and then for interface parameters. The values shown in brackets next to each prompt are the default values last set using either the setup command facility or the configure command.

Note:

The prompts and the order in which they appear on the

 

screen vary depending on the platform and the interfaces

 

installed in the device.

You must run through the entire System Configuration Dialog until you find the item you intend to change. To accept default settings fo items you do not want to change, press <Enter>.

To return to the privileged EXEC prompt without making changes and without running through the entire System Configuration Dialog, press <Ctrl-C>.

The facility also provides help text for each prompt. To access help text, press the question mark (?) key at a prompt.

When you complete your changes, the setup command facility shows you the configuration command script created during the setup ses- sion. It also asks you if you want to use this configuration. If you an- swer Yes, the configuration is saved to NVRAM. If you answer No, the configuration is not saved and the process begins again. There is no default for this prompt; you must answer either Yes or No.
