Using the Global Configuration Mode
If you prefer not to use the interactive script of the setup facility, you can manually
configure the Cisco 7600 OSR using the global configuration mode. The global
configuration mode enables you to enter configuration commands on a
line-by-line basis from the console terminal.
To configure your router using the configuration mode, perform these steps:
Step 1 Connect a console terminal to the console port.
Step 2 When asked if you want to enter the initial dialog, answer no. This causes the
router to enter the user EXEC mode. After a few seconds, the user EXEC mode
prompt (Router>) appears:
Would you like to enter the initial dialog? [yes]: no
Router>
At this prompt, enter the enable command to establish the privileged EXEC
mode:
Router> enable
Router#
Note Configuration changes can be made only in the privileged EXEC
mode.
Step 3 At the privileged EXEC mode prompt, enter the configure terminal command to
enter the global configuration mode:
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
At the global configuration mode prompt, enter the interface command to enter
the interface configuration mode:
Router(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 5/1
Router(config-if)#
In either the global configuration mode or the interface configuration mode, you
can change the router configuration parameters.
To exit either mode, type Ctrl-Z.
