Task 2. Configuring Basic Cisco IOS Software
Apply a basic-running configuration to the NAS:
Configuring the Host Name, Enable Secret Password, and Time Stamps, page 2-22
Configuring Local AAA Security, page 2-23
Setting Up a Log In Banner, page 2-24
Configuring Basic IP, page 2-25
Tips Periodically save the configuration by using the copy running-config startup-config
command.
Configuring the Host Name, Enable Secret Password, and Time Stamps
Assign a host name to the NAS, specify an enable secret password, and turn on time stamps:
A host name allows you to distinguish between different network devices.
A secret enable password allows you to prevent unauthorized configuration changes.
Encrypted passwords in the configuration file add greater security to the NAS.
Time stamps help you trace debug output for testing connections. Not knowing exactly when an
event occurs prevents you from tracing debug output for testing conditions.
Step 1 Enter the following commands in global configuration mode:
hostname 5800-NAS
enable secret
yourpassword
service password-encryption
service timestamps debug datetime msec
service timestamps log datetime msec
Note Do not use the enable password command.
Step 2 Log in with the enable secret password. The show privilege command shows the current security
privilege level.
5800-NAS# disable
5800-NAS> enable
Password:
5800-NAS# show privilege
Current privilege level is 15
5800-NAS#
