For example, during the configuration of a POS interface, (using the setup facility
initial router startup), the script appears as the following example as you respond
to queries:
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 parameters in square
brackets [ ], because you entered the setup facility automatically at startup and
there is no prior configuration information.
Conversely, when you enter the setup command at the privileged EXEC mode
prompt (assuming that the POS interface was configured previously), the script
displays those settings in square brackets [ ].
Configuring interface POS1/0:
Is this interface in use?[yes]:
Configure IP on this interface?[yes]:
When a system prompt contains an existing value in square brackets, press
Return to accept the value, or type an alternate value and press Return.
When you first enter the setup facility or enter the setup command, the system
prompts you to configure global parameters for your router. Global parameters
control system-wide settings, including the following:
Host name for the router.
•
Passwords for the enable, enable secret, and virtual terminal security
•
parameters.
• Protocols used by the router.
