Configuring the MSFC2
Step 5 Enter the enable password when prompted to do so:
The enable password is used when there is no enable secret
and when using older software and some boot images.
Enter enable password: wilma
For future use, make a note of this password.
The commands available at the user EXEC level are a subset of those available at
the privileged EXEC level. Because many privileged EXEC commands are used
to establish system parameters, you should password protect these commands to
prevent their unauthorized use.
The enable secret password functionality is available for the Cisco 7600 OSR.
You must enter the correct password to gain access to privileged-level commands.
When you are running from the ROM monitor (rommon>), the enable password
can be used, depending on your boot ROM level.
For maximum security, the enable secret and the enable password should be
different. If you use the same password for both the enable secret and enable
functions during the setup process, the system accepts it but issues a warning
indicating that you should enter a different password.
An enable secret password can contain from 1 to 25 uppercase and lowercase
alphanumeric characters; an enable password can contain any number of
uppercase and lowercase alphanumeric characters.
In either case, you cannot use a number as the first character. Spaces, however, are
valid password characters. For example, “two words” is a valid password.
Leading spaces are ignored, but trailing spaces are recognized.
Step 6 Enter the virtual terminal password when prompted to do so:
Enter virtual terminal password: bambam
For future use, make a note of this password.
Step 7 In most cases, you will use IP routing as the network layer protocol. If you specify
IP, you must also specify an interior routing protocol.
Enter yes (the default) or press Return to configure IP. Do the same to select the
Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) as the interior routing protocol.
