Using the Global Configuration Mode

If you prefer not to use the interactive script of the setup facility, you can manually configure your router using the global configuration mode. The global configuration mode enables you to enter configuration commands on a line-by-line basis from the console terminal.

To configure your router using the configuration mode, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Connect a console terminal to the console port on the faceplate of the RP.

Step 2 When asked if you want to enter the initial dialog, answer no. This causes the router to enter the user EXEC mode. After a few seconds, the user EXEC mode prompt (Router>) appears:

Would you like to enter the initial dialog? [yes]: no

Router>

Step 3 At this prompt, enter the enable command to establish the privileged EXEC mode:

Router> enable

Router#

Note Configuration changes can be made only in the privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4 At the privileged EXEC mode prompt, enter the config terminal command to enter the global configuration mode:

Router# config terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Router(config)#
