Chapter 2 Basic MSFC Software Configuration

Configuring the MSFC2

Using the global configuration mode

If you do not want to use the interactive script of the setup facility to configure your router, you can configure your router manually using the global configuration mode. This facility requires you to enter configuration commands on a line-by-line basis at the console without being prompted by a configuration script. See the “Configuring Global Parameters” section on page 2-4for more information.

The advantage in using the setup facility is that the system guides you through the configuration process through an interactive script that minimizes the likelihood of errors.

To configure the Cisco 7600 OSR to operate in your networking environment, you will need to obtain the correct network addresses from your system administrator or your network plan.

Using the setup Facility or the setup Command

During the initial manual configuration of the Cisco 7600 OSR, you need to consider these parameters:

Global (system-wide) parameters

Network interface (module) parameters

You can establish these parameters using the setup facility. The setup facility displays automatically at initial system startup. You can also enter the setup command at any time at the privileged EXEC prompt (Router#) to activate the setup facility.

When you enter the setup command, the configuration script displays any existing (previously entered) system configuration defaults within square brackets [ ].

For example, during the configuration of a Packet-over-Sonet (POS) interface using the setup facility at startup (assuming that the interface has not previously been configured), you will see this display as you proceed through the script and respond to queries:

Configuring interface POS4/0:

Is this interface in use?: yes

Configure IP on this interface?: yes

No default or current parameters are enclosed within square brackets [ ] in the configuration dialog in this configuration.
