Basic management setup configures only enough connectivity for management of the system. Extended setup will ask you to configure each interface on the system.

Would you like to enter basic management setup? [yes/no]: no

Step 3 When the following message appears, press Return to see the current interface summary:

First, would you like to see the current interface summary? [yes]:

Step 4 Enter a host name for the gateway:

Configuring global parameters:

Enter host name [Router]: Gateway

Step 5 Enter an enable secret password. This password is encrypted (more secure) and cannot be seen when viewing the configuration.

The enable secret is a password used to protect access to privileged EXEC and configuration modes. This password, after entered, becomes encrypted in the configuration.

Enter enable secret: xxxx

Step 6 Enter an enable password that is different from the enable secret password. This password is not encrypted (less secure) and can be seen when viewing the configuration.

The enable password is used when you do not specify an enable secret password, with some older software versions, and some boot images.

Enter enable password: guessme

Step 7 Enter the virtual terminal password, which prevents unauthenticated access to the universal gateway through ports other than the console port:

The virtual terminal password is used to protect access to the router over a network interface.

Enter virtual terminal password: guessagain

Step 8 Respond to the following prompts as appropriate for your network:

Configure System Management [yes/no] no

Configure SNMP Network Management? [yes]:

Community string [public]:

Configure LAT? [yes]: no

Configure AppleTalk? [no]:

Configure DECnet? [no]:

Configure IP? [no]: yes

Configure IGRP routing? [yes]:

Configure CLNS? [no]:

Configure IPX? [no]:

Configure Vines? [no]:

Configure XNS? [no]:

Configure Apollo? [no]:

Configure bridging? [no]:
