The setup command facility guides you through the configuration process by prompting you for the
specific information that is needed to configure your system. Use the setup command facility to
configure a hostname for the router, to set passwords, and to configure an interface for communication
with the management network.
To use the setup command facility, you must set up a console connection with the router and enter the
privileged EXEC mode.
Note For instructions on how to set up a console connection, see the “Connecting a Terminal or PC to
the Console Port” section on page3-16.
