Chapter 5 Configuring the Router

Performing the Initial Configuration on the Router

SUMMARY STEPS

1.enable

2.configure terminal

3.line console 0

4.exec-timeoutminutes [seconds]

5.end

6.show running-config

DETAILED STEPS

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1
	enable	Enables privileged EXEC mode.
		• Enter your password if prompted.
	Example:
	Router> enable
Step 2
	configure terminal	Enters global configuration mode.
	Example:
	Router# configure terminal
Step 3
	line console 0	Configures the console line and starts the line configuration
		command collection mode.
	Example:
	Router(config)# line console 0
Step 4
	exec-timeoutminutes [seconds]	Sets the idle privileged EXEC timeout, which is the interval
		that the privileged EXEC command interpreter waits until
	Example:	user input is detected.
	Router(config-line)# exec-timeout 0 0	• The example shows how to specify no timeout. Setting
		the exec-timeout value to 0 will cause the router to
		never log out once logged in. This could have security
		implications if you leave the console without manually
		logging out using the disable command.
Step 5
	end	Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
	Example:
	Router(config)# end
Step 6
	show running-config	Displays the running configuration file.
		• Verify that you properly configured the idle privileged
	Example:	EXEC timeout.
	Router(config)# show running-config

Examples

The following example shows how to set the console idle privileged EXEC timeout to 2 minutes 30 seconds:
