Configuring the Router
When you configure the console line, you can also set communication parameters, specify autobaud
connections, and configure terminal operating parameters for the terminal that you are using. For more
information on configuring the console line, see the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals and
Network Management Configuration Guide. In particular, see the "Configuring Operating
Characteristics for Terminals" and "Troubleshooting and Fault Management" chapters.

Performing the Initial Configuration on the Router
Purpose
Enables privileged EXEC mode.
Enter your password if prompted.
•
Enters global configuration mode.
Configures the console line and starts the line configuration
command collection mode.
Sets the idle privileged EXEC timeout, which is the interval
that the privileged EXEC command interpreter waits until
user input is detected.
The example shows how to specify no timeout. Setting
•
the exec-timeout value to 0 will cause the router to
never log out once logged in. This could have security
implications if you leave the console without manually
logging out using the disable command.
