Summary

Now that you have reviewed some Cisco IOS software basics, you can begin to configure your router. Remember:

•You can use the question mark (?) and arrow keys to help you enter commands.

•Each command mode restricts you to a set of commands. If you are having difficulty entering a command, check the prompt, and then enter the question mark (?) for a list of available commands. You might be in the wrong command mode or using the wrong syntax.

•If you want to disable a feature, enter the keyword no before the command; for example, no ip routing.

•Save your configuration changes to NVRAM so that they are not lost if there is a system reload or power outage.

Where to Go Next

To configure your router, go to Chapter 1, “Basic Router Configuration,” and Chapter 2, “Sample Network Deployments.”
