Chapter 3 Initial Configuration of the ML-Series Card

Startup Configuration File

 

Command

Purpose

Step 3

 

 

Router(config)# enable password

Sets the enable password. See the “Passwords” section

 

password

on page 3-6.

Step 4

 

 

Router(config)# enable secret password

Allows you to enter an enable secret password. See the

 

 

“Passwords” section on page 3-6. A user must enter the

 

 

enable secret password to gain access to global

 

 

configuration mode.

Step 5

 

 

Router(config)# interface type number

Activates interface configuration mode on the interface.

 

Router(config-if)#

 

Step 6

 

 

Router(config-if)# ip address

Allows you to enter the IP address and IP subnet mask

 

ip-address subnetmask

for the interface specified in Step 5.

Step 7

 

 

Router(config-if)# no shutdown

Enables the interface.

Step 8

 

 

Router(config-if)# exit

Returns to global configuration mode.

 

Router(config)#

 

Step 9

 

 

Router(config)# line vty line-number

Activates line configuration mode for virtual terminal

 

 

connections. Commands entered in this mode control the

 

 

operation of Telnet sessions to the ML-Series card.

Step 10

 

 

Router(config-line)# password password

Allows you to enter a password for Telnet sessions.

Step 11

 

 

Router(config-line)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

 

Router#

 

Step 12

 

 

Router# copy running-config

(Optional) Saves your configuration changes to

 

startup-config

NVRAM.

 

 

 

After you have completed configuring remote management on the management port, you can use Telnet to remotely assign and verify configurations.

Configuring the Hostname

In addition to the system passwords and enable password, your initial configuration should include a hostname to easily identify your ML-Series card. To configure the hostname, perform the following task, beginning in enable mode:

 

Command

Purpose

Step 1

 

 

Router# configure terminal

Activates global configuration mode.

Step 2

 

 

Router(config)# hostname name-string

Allows you to enter a system name. In this example, we

 

 

set the hostname to “Router.”

Step 3

 

 

Router(config)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4

 

 

Router# copy running-config

(Optional) Copies your configuration changes to

 

startup-config

NVRAM.
