Configuring the MSFC2
• Using the global configuration mode
If you do not want to use the interactive script of the setup facility to
configure your router, you can configure your router manually using the
global configuration mode. This facility requires you to enter configuration
commands on a line-by-line basis at the console without being prompted by
a configuration script. See the “Configuring Global Parameters” section on
page 2-4 for more information.
The advantage in using the setup facility is that the system guides you through the
configuration process through an interactive script that minimizes the likelihood
of errors.
To configure the Cisco 7600 OSR to operate in your networking environment, you
will need to obtain the correct network addresses from your system administrator
or your network plan.
Using the setup Facility or the setup Command
During the initial manual configuration of the Cisco 7600 OSR, you need to
consider these parameters:
• Global (system-wide) parameters
• Network interface (module) parameters
You can establish these parameters using the setup facility. The setup facility
displays automatically at initial system startup. You can also enter the setup
command at any time at the privileged EXEC prompt (Router#) to activate the
setup facility.
When you enter the setup command, the configuration script displays any existing
(previously entered) system configuration defaults within square brackets [ ].
For example, during the configuration of a Packet-over-Sonet (POS) interface
using the setup facility at startup (assuming that the interface has not previously
been configured), you will see this display as you proceed through the script and
respond to queries:
Configuring interface POS4/0:
Is this interface in use?: yes
Configure IP on this interface?: yes
No default or current parameters are enclosed within square brackets [ ] in the
configuration dialog in this configuration.
