Start and Configure the System
Perform a Basic Configuration
Using Setup
Note
The router's serial (WAN) cable should not be
connected to the CSU/DSU unless you are planning
to use AutoInstall. If you are using the console
Y-cable that shipped with your router, use either of
the two DB-25 male plug ends of the Y-cable.
Step 1
Select the protocols supported on your
interfaces. For Internet Protocol (IP)-only
installations, accept the default values. A
typical minimal configuration using IP,
IPX, and AppleTalk follows:
Configuring global parameters:
Enter host name [Router]: Router
Step 2
Enter the enable secret password and the
enable password when the following is
displayed:
The enable secret is a one-way cryptographic
secret used instead of the enable password
when it exists.
Enter enable secret: barney
The enable password is used when there is no
enable secret and when using older software
and some boot images.
Enter enable password: betty
Step 3
Enter yes or no to accept or refuse SNMP
management:
Configure SNMP Network Management? [yes]: yes
Community string [public]:
Step 4
Enter no to refuse to enable CLNS:
Configure CLNS? [no]: no
Step 5
Enter yes to enable routing on AppleTalk
and IPX:
Configure AppleTalk? [no]: yes
Multizone networks? [no]: yes
Configure IPX? [no]: yes
Step 6
Enter no to refuse to enable Vines, XNS,
DECnet, or bridging:
Configure Vines? [no]: no
Configure XNS? [no]: no
Configure DECnet? [no]: no
Configure bridging? [no]: no
Step 7
Enter yes or press Return to configure IP,
and then select an interior routing
protocol for IP, if you are using IP routing:
Configure IP? [yes]: yes
Configure IGRP routing? [yes]: yes
Your IGRP autonomous system number [1]: 15
Step 8
At the # prompt, enter the copy
running-config startup-config command
to save the configuration to NVRAM as
follows:
Hostname# copy running-config startup-config
