6Perform Initial Configuration

Note The information in this document applies to the Cisco AS5350, Cisco AS5400, and Cisco AS5400HPX universal gateways.

Note Unless specifically noted, all references to the Cisco AS5400 also apply to the Cisco AS5400HPX.

At this point you can continue, using the setup command facility, or you can configure the universal gateway manually using the CLI.

The following section describes the procedure for the setup command facility for the initial configuration.

See the “Initial Configuration Using CLI (Manual Configuration)” section on page 35 for information about manual configuration using CLI.

Initial Configuration Using the Setup Command Facility

This section shows how to prepare the system to perform basic communication functions through its Ethernet and WAN interfaces.

Note The displayed messages depend on the Cisco IOS software release and cards installed in your system. The screen displays in this section are for reference only and might not exactly reflect the messages on your console.

Note If you make a mistake while using the setup command facility, you can exit and run the facility again. Press Ctrl-c, and type setup at the enable mode prompt (Router#).

Step 1 To proceed using the setup command facility, enter yes:

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

At any point you may enter a question mark ‘?’ for help.

Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt.

Default settings are in square brackets ‘[]’.

Step 2 When the following message appears, enter no to configure all interfaces:

Note Note that, if you enter yes, your system will not be configured correctly.
