Cisco RSP1 Installation And Configuration Manual page 10

Prerequisites
the configuration file, you will have to use the configure command or the setup command facility
to reenter the configuration information after you install the new RSP1. For complete descriptions
of these commands and instructions for using them, refer to the appropriate software documentation.
This procedure is not necessary if you are temporarily removing an RSP1 that you will reinstall; the
lithium batteries will retain the configuration in memory until you replace the RSP1 in the system.
This procedure requires privileged-level access to the EXEC command interpreter, which usually
requires a password. Refer to the description that follows and contact your system administrator if
necessary, to obtain access.
Using the EXEC Command Interpreter
Before you use the configure command, you must enter the privileged level of the EXEC command
interpreter with the enable command. The system will prompt you for a password if one has been
set.
The system prompt for the privileged level ends with a pound sign (#) instead of an angle bracket
(>). At the console terminal, enter the privileged level as follows:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
The pound sign (#) at the system prompt indicates that you are at the privileged level of the EXEC
command interpreter; you can now execute the EXEC-level commands that are described in the
following sections.
Using the Ping Command
Before you attempt to upload or retrieve a file from a remote host, ensure that the connection is good
between the router and the remote server. The packet internet groper (ping) program sends a series
of echo request packets to the remote device and waits for a reply. If the connection is good, the
remote device echoes them back to the local device.
The console terminal displays the results of each message sent: an exclamation point (!) indicates
that the local device received an echo, and a period (.) indicates that the server timed out while
awaiting the reply. If the connection between the two devices is good, the system will display a series
of exclamation points (! ! !) or [ok]. If the connection fails, the system will display a series of periods
( . . . ) or [timed out] or [failed].
To verify the connection between the router and a remote host, issue the ping command followed by
the name or Internet Protocol (IP) address of the remote server, then press Return. Although the
ping command supports configurable options, the defaults, including interface processor as the
protocol, are enabled when you enter a host name or address on the same line as the ping command.
For a description of the configurable options, refer to the appropriate software documentation.
10 Route Switch Processor (RSP1) Installation and Configuration
At the user-level EXEC prompt (>), enter the enable command. The EXEC command
interpreter prompts you for a privileged-level password, as follows:
Router> enable
Password:
Enter the password (the password is case sensitive). For security purposes, the password is
not displayed.
When you enter the correct password, the system displays the privileged-level system
prompt (#) as follows:
