Chapter 1 Introduction
Using the Setup Script
Passwords
Several passwords are used when configuring your Cisco IOS software. Passwords are used to identify
user authorization and permission rights, virtual terminal configuration, and network management
software initialization. Most passwords can use the same notation.
You need the following types of passwords when configuring Cisco IOS software:
• Enable password—A nonencrypted and, therefore, less secure password.
• Enable secret password—A very secure, encrypted password that is used in place of the enable
password. Because many privileged-level EXEC commands are used to set operating parameters,
we recommend that you use the enable secret password to prevent unauthorized use.
Note The enable password and enable secret password should be different. In both
cases, you cannot use a number as the first character. Spaces are valid
characters, but only when following valid characters; lead spaces are ignored.
• Virtual console password—Enables terminal emulation.
Setup-Script Initial Configuration
When the system is booted for the first time, NVRAM is blank. Because of this, the system software will
automatically ask if you want to enter the setup script (system configuration dialog). After you have a
configuration, run the setup script again to change it.
The first step is to power ON your Cisco AS5800. The power switch is located on the Cisco 7206
router-shelf rear panel. Be sure to power on the power entry modules (PEMs), which can be accessed
from the Cisco 5814 dial-shelf rear panel. If you are using the optional AC-input power shelf, you also
need to power on the AC-input power supplies.
