Chapter 4 Configuring the Router
Performing the Initial Configuration on the Router
Step 4 Enter an enable secret password. This password is encrypted (for more security) 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: password1
Step 5 Enter an enable password that is different from the enable secret password. This password is not encrypted (and is 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: password2
Step 6 Enter the virtual terminal password, which prevents unauthenticated access to the router 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: password3
Step 7 Respond to the following prompts as appropriate for your network:
Configure SNMP Network Management? [no]: yes
Community string [public]:
A summary of the available interfaces is displayed.

|
|
|
|
| Interface | OK? Method | Status | Protocol | ||
| GigabitEthernet0/0 | unassigned | YES NVRAM | administratively down down | ||
| GigabitEthernet0/1 | 10.10.10.12 | YES | DHCP | up | up |
|
| unassigned | NO | unset | up |
|
| Any interface listed with OK? value "NO" does not have a valid configuration |
| ||||
Step 8 | Select one of the available interfaces for connecting the router to the management network: | |||||
| Enter interface name used to connect to the |
|
|
|
| |
| management network from the above interface summary: gigabitethernet0/1 |
| ||||
Step 9 | Respond to the following prompts as appropriate for your network: |
| ||||
| Configuring interface GigabitEthernet0/1: |
|
|
|
| |
| Configure IP on this interface? [yes]: yes |
|

| IP address for this interface [10.10.10.12]: |
|
|
Subnet mask for this interface [255.0.0.0] : 255.255.255.0
Class A network is 10.0.0.0, 24 subnet bits; mask is /24
The following configuration command script is created:
