Note You can run the setup facility any time you are at the enable prompt by entering the
setup command.
Configuring the Global Parameters
When you first start the setup program you must configure the global parameters, which are
used for controlling system-wide settings.
Note The screen displays shown in this section may vary from those displayed on your
console terminal, depending on the configuration of your router.
Take the following steps to enter the global parameters:
Step 1 Connect a console terminal by following the instructions in the section “Console
Port Connections” in the chapter “Cable Connection,” and then power up the
router to the EXEC prompt (Router>).
Step 2 When you have booted from Flash memory, copyright and router hardware
information will be displayed on the console screen after about 30 seconds.
After the router hardware information is displayed, you will see a message
similar to the following. When you see this information displayed, you have
successfully booted your router.
