Chapter 3 Installing the Router

Configuration Changes

Note You might have to establish additional configuration parameters for the installed ATM line cards if you want to use all their capabilities. For example, additional steps are required to configure permanent virtual circuits (PVCs).

After you have manually configured the network interface parameters using the setup command utility or the setup command, your RP and line card interfaces are available for limited use. To modify the currently saved configuration information, enter the setup command at the privileged EXEC mode prompt (Router#) at any time to start another System Configuration Dialog session.

To perform more complex configuration tasks, enter the configure terminal command at the privileged EXEC mode prompt (Router#) to invoke the global configuration mode [Router(config)#].

Checking the Software Version

To determine the current version of the Cisco IOS software running on your router, enter the show version command at the user EXEC prompt. The Cisco IOS software version number is displayed, as well as other information, including the hardware installed in the system, the names and sources of system image files, and the contents of the software configuration register. The show version command also identifies the type of router.

The example in the show version Command section that follows below shows typical results from the show version command. Depending on the image version of the Cisco IOS software running on your router and the way it is equipped, the results of your show version command might be different.
