Chapter 4 Performing a Basic Configuration of the System

Configuring the Cisco 7500 Series System

Step 5 Enter the enable secret password and the enable password when the following is displayed:

The enable secret is a one-way cryptographic secret used instead of the enable password when it exists.

Enter enable secret: barney

The enable password is used when there is no enable secret and when using older software and some boot images.

Enter enable password: betty

Note The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the most widely supported open standard for network management. It provides a means to access and set configuration and run-time parameters of routers and communication servers. SNMP defines a set of functions that can be used to monitor and control network elements.

Step 6 Enter yes or no to accept or refuse SNMP management:

Configure SNMP Network Management? [yes]: yes

Community string [public]:

Step 7 For the following query, do not enable CLNS:

Configure CLNS? [no]: no

Step 8 For the following queries, enable routing on AppleTalk and IPX:

Configure AppleTalk? [no]: yes

Multizone networks? [no]: yes

Configure IPX? [no]: yes

Step 9 For the following queries, do not enable VINES, XNS, DECnet, or bridging:

Configure Vines? [no]: no

Configure XNS? [no]: no

Configure DECnet? [no]: no

Configure bridging? [no]: no

Step 10 In most cases you will use IP routing. If you are using IP routing, you must also select an interior routing protocol. You can specify only one of two interior routing protocols to operate on your system using the setup program: Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) or Routing Information Protocol (RIP).

Enter yes (the default) or press Return to configure IP, and then select an interior routing protocol for IP:

Configure IP? [yes]:

Configure IGRP routing? [yes]:

Your IGRP autonomous system number [1]: 15

Note The following sample display includes a continuous listing of all configuration parameters selected in Step 4 through Step 10. These parameters are shown in the order in which they appear on your console terminal.

Only IP, IPX, and AppleTalk are the selected protocols for this example.
