During the boot process, observe the system LEDs. The LEDs on the shared port adapter go on and off in irregular sequence. They may go on, go out, and go on again for a short time. On the router, the green STATUS LED comes on and stays on. For software configuration information, see the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Software Configuration Guide.

Using the Console Interface

To access the command-line interface using the console, follow these steps:

Step 1 Once the terminal console port is connected, configure your terminal emulation software with valid settings. Start at the following prompt:

Press Return for Console prompt

Step 2 Press Return to enter user EXEC configuration mode. The following prompt appears:

Router>

Step 3 From user EXEC configuration mode, enter the enable command as shown in the following example:

Router> enable

Step 4 At the password prompt, enter your system’s password. If an enable password has not been set on your system, this step may be skipped. The following example shows entry of the password called enablepass:

Password: enablepass

Step 5 When your enable password is accepted, the privileged EXEC configuration mode prompt appears:

Router#

Step 6 You now have access to the CLI in privileged EXEC configuration mode and you can enter the necessary commands to complete your desired tasks.

Step 7 To exit the console session, enter the quit command as shown in the following example:

Router# quit

Configure Global Parameters Using the Setup Facility

When you first start the setup program, you must configure the global parameters. These parameters are used for controlling system-wide settings. Complete the following steps to enter the global parameters:

Step 1 Connect a console terminal to the console port and then boot the router. The system boots from flash memory. The following information appears after about 30 seconds. This is only an example of the output display; prompts may vary.

Step 2 The first sections of the configuration script appear only at an initial system startup. On subsequent uses of the setup facility, the script begins with a System Configuration Dialog as shown below: When asked if you would like to enter the initial configuration dialog, 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.
