Chapter 5      Power-Up and Initial Configuration Procedures
  Configuring the Router
The setup command facility prompts you for basic information about your router and network, and it 
creates an initial configuration file. After the configuration file has been created, you can use the CLI or 
SDM to perform additional configuration. 
The prompts in the setup command facility vary, depending on your router model, the installed interface 
modules, and the software image. The following example and the user entries (in 
bold) are shown as 
examples only.
For a description of the interface numbering, see the “Interface Numbering” section on page 1-11.
NoteIf you make a mistake while using the setup command facility, you can exit and run the setup facility 
again. Press Ctrl-C, and enter setup at the privileged EXEC mode prompt (Router#).
Step 1To proceed using the setup command facility, enter yes when the power-up messages have ended.
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: yes
Step 2When the following messages appear, press Return to enter basic management setup:
At any point you may enter a question mark ? for help.Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt.Default settings are in square brackets [].
Basic management setup configures only enough connectivityfor management of the system, extended setup will ask you
to configure each interface on the system
Would you like to enter basic management setup? [yes/no]: yes
Step 3Enter a hostname for the router (this example uses Router):
Configuring global parameters:
Enter host name [Router]: Router
Step 4Enter an enable secret password. This password is encrypted (more secure) and cannot be seen when you 
view the configuration:
The enable secret is a password used to protect access toprivileged EXEC and configuration modes. This password, afterentered, becomes encrypted in the configuration.
Enter enable secret: xxxxxx
Step 5Enter an enable password that is different from the enable secret password. This password is not 
encrypted (less secure) and can be seen when you view the configuration:
The enable password is used when you do not specify anenable secret password, with some older software versions, and
some boot images.Enter enable password: xxxxxx
Step 6Enter 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: xxxxxx
Step 7Respond to the following prompts as appropriate for your network:
