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 Chapter 2, "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 startup 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 provides default and help information within the dialog. Default and help information that is available within the dialog is described later in this section.
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, interface and continues 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 the 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 22.
Before powering on 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 protocol translators are configured at the factory for either 110 VAC or 220 VAC operation, as requested when ordered. |
Now you can safely power up your system.
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 PT Software (PT3-L), Version 9.1 Copyright (c) 1986-1992 by Cisco Systems, Inc. Compiled Fri 19-Jun-92 13:36
The next portion of the script lists installed hardware and software options. By reading the installed hardware, the system presents the
appropriate interfaces during the configuration process.
CSC3 (68020) processor with 4096K bytes of memory. 1 MCI controller. 1 Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 interface. 1 Serial network interface. 96 terminal lines 64k bytes of non-volatile memory.
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 (pt#).
At any --More-- prompts, press the space bar to continue.
You will be prompted for global parameters at the console. Use the values you have determined in the "Global Parameters" portion on your Protocol Translator 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 in the "Interface Parameters" on your Protocol Translator Configuration Worksheet. Enter the interface parameters at the prompts.
When you complete the configuration process for all installed interfaces on your protocol translator, 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 Chapter 4, "Modifying the Startup Configuration."
This section contains a sample first-time startup configuration using a sample completed worksheet 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.
