1. At the CONFIG> prompt, enter the list configuration command to see the
numbers and names of the protocols purchased in your copy of the software.
See page 69 for sample output of the list configuration command.
2. From the Config> prompt, enter the protocol command with the number or
short name (for example, IP,IPX, and ARP) of the protocol you want to
configure. The protocol number and short name is obtained from the list
configuration command display. In the following example, the command has
been entered for accessing the IP protocol configuration process:
Config> protocol IP
or
Config> protocol 0
The protocol configuration prompt then displays on the console. The following
example shows the IP protocol configuration prompt:
IP config>
Youcan now begin entering the protocol’s configuration commands. See the
corresponding protocol section of the

Protocol Configuration and Monitoring

Reference

for more information on specific protocol configuration commands.
In summary, the protocol command lets you enter the configuration process for the
protocol software installed in your router. The protocol command enters a
protocol’s command process. After entering the protocol command, the prompt of
the specified protocol appears. From the prompt, you can enter commands specific
to that protocol.
