Configuring the Interfaces
Step 9
Step 10 Replace and secure the front access panel.
Step 11 To configure the new interfaces, proceed to the following section, "Configuring the
When new hardware is installed, the system automatically defaults to the setup command facility.
You can either remain in setup and answer each prompt, or exit from setup and configure any new
interfaces with configure command. If you have no new interfaces to configure (you replaced a
card), exit from setup by answering no to the following prompt:
When the system is configured and running, use the show controller cBus command to display the
name, controller type, microcode version, and interfaces on each card in the ciscoBus. For
descriptions of other show commands, refer to the router products configuration publication.
Configuring the Interfaces
The system automatically invokes the setup command facility whenever new hardware components
are installed. This facility determines which interfaces are installed and prompts you for
configuration information for each one. When you complete each interface, the facility
automatically starts over for the next, continuing until each interface has been configured. When you
add new interfaces, the configuration information for the system and all existing interfaces is
retained and displayed as the default (in brackets [ ]) in the prompts. Use the Return key to accept
the defaults (existing configuration information) at each prompt. At this point you have two options:
continuing in setup to configure the new interfaces, or exiting setup and configuring the new
interfaces with the configure EXEC command.
Before beginning this configuration procedure, be prepared with the information you will need such
as the protocols you plan to route on each interface, IP addresses if you will configure the interfaces
for IP, and which interfaces, if any, will use bridging.
The system banner and a list of all installed interfaces, including those you just installed, should be
displayed on the screen. (See page 8 for an example of this display, which is the same as the output
from the show version command.) If this information is not displayed, return to the section
"Restarting the System," on page 24.
The System Configuration Dialog text is displayed below the list of installed hardware, with the
following message at the end of the display:
To continue with the setup facility, answer yes at the prompt and proceed to the following section,
"Using Setup." To exit from setup and use the configure EXEC command to configure the new
interfaces, answer no at the prompt and proceed to the section "Using the Configure EXEC
Command" on page 28.
