Chapter 4 System Startup and Basic System Configuration

Cisco IOS User Interface

For example, during the configuration of a POS interface, (using the setup facility initial router startup), the script appears as the following example as you respond to queries:

Configuring interface POS1/0:

Is this interface in use?: yes

Configure IP on this interface?: yes

In this example, the script does not display default or current parameters in square brackets [ ], because you entered the setup facility automatically at startup and there is no prior configuration information.

Conversely, when you enter the setup command at the privileged EXEC mode prompt (assuming that the POS interface was configured previously), the script displays those settings in square brackets [ ].

Configuring interface POS1/0:

Is this interface in use?[yes]:

Configure IP on this interface?[yes]:

When a system prompt contains an existing value in square brackets, press

Return to accept the value, or type an alternate value and press Return.

Configuring Global Parameters Using the Setup Facility

When you first enter the setup facility or enter the setup command, the system prompts you to configure global parameters for your router. Global parameters control system-wide settings, including the following:

Host name for the router.

Passwords for the enable, enable secret, and virtual terminal security parameters.

Protocols used by the router.
