Step 4
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]:

Step 5
Configure the global parameters. Choose which protocols to support on the
Ethernet interface. For IP installations, you can press Return to accept the default
values (in brackets) for most of the questions. 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 6
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.
