4-8 Cisco Multiport Router Installation and Configuration Guide
Configuring the Router
A typical configuration using IP, IPX, and AppleTalk follows:
Configuring global parameters:
Enter host name [Router]: router
Step 5 Enter the enable secret password, the enable password, and the virtual terminal
password:
The enable secret is a one-way cryptographic secret used
instead of the enable password when it exists.
Enter enable secret : shovel
The enable password is used when there is no enable secret
and when using older software and some boot images.
Enter enable password : trowel
Enter virtual terminal password: pail
Enter yes or no to accept or refuse SNMP management:
Configure SNMP Network Management? [yes]:no
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is the most widely supported
open standard for network management. It provides a means to access and set the
configuration and run-time parameters of a multiport serial router. SNMP defines
a set of functions used to monitor and control network elements.
Step 6 Determine if you are using DECnet on the router. If you are configuring for
DECnet, enter the appropriate values for your area number, node number, and area
routing:
Configure DECnet? [no]:
Step 7 In most cases, you use IP routing. For IP routing, you must also select one of two
interior routing protocols: Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) or Routing
Information Protocol (RIP).
