Configuring Global Parameters

OL-11636-01
For example, during the configuration of a POS interface, which has not been
previously configured, using the setup command utility at startup you will see a
display in the following form as you proceed through the script and respond to the
prompts:
Configuring interface POS1/0:
Is this interface in use?: yes
Configure IP on this interface?: yes
In this example, the script does not display default or current conditions in square
brackets [ ], because you entered the setup command utility automatically at
startup and there is no prior configuration information.
When you enter the setup command at the privileged EXEC mode prompt
(assuming that the POS interface has been configured previously and you are
being queried by the system for changes), you will see a display in the following
form:
Configuring interface POS1/0:
Is this interface in use?[yes]:
Configure IP on this interface?[yes]:
The script displays the default or current conditions of the interface in square
brackets [ ], because you invoked the setup command utility using the setup
command and there is previous configuration information. When a system prompt
contains an existing default value in square brackets, press Return to accept the
default value, or type an alternate value and press Return.
When you first enter the setup utility or enter the setup command, the system
prompts you to configure global parameters for your router. The global
parameters are used for controlling system-wide settings, including the following:
Host name for the router
•
Passwords for the enable secret, enable, and virtual terminal security
•
parameters
Protocols used by the router
•
