4-6 Router Installation and Configuration Guide
Configuring the Router for the First Time
Step 2 Press Return or enter yes to begin the configuration process.
Step 3 When the System Configuration Dialog asks whether you want to view the
current interface summary, press Return or enter yes:
First, would you like to see the current interface summary? [yes]:
Any interface listed with OK? value “NO” does not have a valid
configuration
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
Ethernet0 unassigned NO not set up down
BRI0 unassigned NO not set up up
Serial0 unassigned NO not set down down
Serial1 unassigned NO not set down down
Step 4 Configure the global parameters. A typical configuration follows:
Configuring global parameters:
Enter host name [Router]:
Next, you are prompted to enter an enable secret password. There are two types
of privileged-level passwords:
•
Enable secret password (a very secure, encrypted password)
•
Enable password (a less secure, nonencrypted password)
The enable password is used when the enable secret password does not exist.
For maximum security, be sure the passwords are different. If you enter the same
password for both, the router will accept your entry, but will display a warning
message indicating that you should enter a different password.
Step 5 Enter an enable secret password:
The enable secret is a one-way cryptographic secret used
instead of the enable password when it exists.
Enter enable secret: pail
The enable password is used when there is no enable secret
and when using older software and some boot images.
