This chapter takes you through first-time startup. Use the information you have entered onto the configuration worksheets as you interact with the System Configuration Dialog. If you have not completed the worksheets, you should read the chapter "Preparing for First-Time Startup," before starting up.
This chapter includes sample worksheets that have been filled in to show you how the information you have written on the worksheets is used when the setup command facility runs through the System Configuration Dialog.
The first time you start up the system, the setup command facility operates automatically. An interactive dialog, called the System Configuration Dialog, will be displayed on the screen of the system console. The dialog navigates you through the configuration process by prompting you for the information you should have already determined and recorded on the configuration worksheets. The setup command facility also provides default values and help text for the configuration parameters.
The setup command facility knows which interfaces are installed and prompts you for configuration information for each installed interface. When you finish configuring one interface, the setup command software prompts you for the next, continuing until each interface has been configured.
At first-time startup, you need to do the following:
For many of the prompts in the System Configuration Dialog of the setup command facility, default answers appear in square brackets following the question. By pressing the Return key, you allow these defaults to be used. If the system was previously configured, the defaults that appear are the currently configured values. If this is the first time the system has been configured, the factory defaults are provided. If there is no factory default, as in the case of passwords, nothing is displayed after the question mark.
At any time during use of the setup command facility, you may request help by typing a question mark (?) at a given prompt. If the prompt requires a yes or no answer, no further help is available. However, if the prompt offers a range of acceptable answers, the help facility will give you some guidance. For example, if you are prompted to select the number of bits in a subnet mask, the help facility might inform you that you can choose a decimal number between 0 and 16.
Before powering up your system, check for correct AC power voltages.
![]() | Caution Check the voltage rating label at the rear of the unit for correct voltage configuration. The AGS and AGS+ are configured at the factory for either 110 VAC or 220 VAC operation, as requested when ordered. MGS, CGS, and Cisco 3000 products automatically configure the power supply for the applied input voltage and may be connected to any AC source from 90 to 264 VAC. All UK version products are configured at the factory for 240 VAC operation only. |
Now you can safely power up your system by flipping the switch.
When you first power up your console and network router, a script similar to the following will appear on the screen. Note that the script includes among other things, banner information and the System Configuration Dialog. (A sample of the complete configuration script produced is included at the end of the chapter.)
The first section of the script displays the banner information, including the software version:
Restricted Rights Legend Use, duplication, or disclosure by the Government is subject to restrictions as set forth in subparagraph (c) of the Commercial Computer Software - Restricted Rights clause at FAR sec. 52.227-19 and subparagraph (c) (ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause at DFARS sec. 252.227-7013. Cisco Systems, Inc. 1525 O'Brien Drive Menlo Park, California GS Software (GS3-BRX), Version 9.1 Copyright (c) 1986-1992 by Cisco Systems, Inc. Compiled Wed 22-Jul-92 20:34
The next portion of the script lists installed hardware and software options, such as bridging and X.25. The system presents the appropriate interfaces for these options during the configuration process.
CSC3 (68020) processor with 4096K bytes of memory. X.25 software. Bridging software. 1 MCI controller (2 Ethernet, 2 serial). 1 Token ring interface. 1 Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 interface. 1 Serial network interface. 1 FDDI interface.
The System Configuration Dialog appears next, prompting for configuration information. Press Return to accept the default settings, which appear in square brackets.
- System Configuration Dialog - At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help. Refer to the 'Getting Started' Guide for additional help. Default settings are in square brackets '[]'. Continue with configuration dialog? [yes]: (Use Ctrl-c to abort configuration at any prompt)
At this point, you can choose not to continue with the System Configuration Dialog and exit by answering no to the prompt. Answer yes to begin the configuration process. You can use Ctrl-c to abort the process at any time. Ctrl-c will return you to the privileged EXEC prompt (router#).
You will be prompted for global parameters at the console. Use the values you have determined on your System Configuration worksheet. Enter the global parameters at the prompts.
You will be prompted for parameters for each installed interface at the console. Use the values you have determined on your Interface Configuration Worksheets. Enter the interface parameters at the prompts.
When you complete the configuration process for all installed interfaces on your router, the setup command facility presents the configuration command script that was created. It also asks you if you want to use this configuration. If you answer yes, the configuration is saved to nonvolatile memory. If you answer no, the configuration is not saved and the process begins again. Note that there is no default for this prompt; you must answer either yes or no.
Once you have answered yes to this last question, your system is now ready to be used. If you want to modify the configuration you have just established, see the chapter,"Modifying the Startup Configuration."
This section contains a sample first-time startup configuration using sample completed worksheets for values. This example includes the actual screen output for the setup command facility at first-time startup. The screen output includes both the interactive configuration process and the resulting script created.
In the sample System Configuration Dialog, when it appears that no response was made, the user pressed the Return key to accept the default.
