After a few seconds you see the user EXEC prompt (Router>). Type enable and the
Step 3
password to enter enable mode:
Router> enable
Password:
Configuration changes can be made only in enable mode. The prompt changes to the
privileged EXEC (enable) prompt (Router#):
Router#
Enter the command config terminal to enter configuration mode:
Step 4
Router# config terminal
Router(config)#
The router enters global configuration mode, indicated by the Router(config)# prompt.
If you have not configured the router before, or want to change the configuration,
Step 5
configure global parameters, passwords, network management, and routing protocols. In
this example, IP routing, AppleTalk routing, and Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX)
routing are all enabled:
Router(config)# ip routing
Router(config)# appletalk routing
Router(config)# ipx routing
For complete information about global configuration commands, refer to the Cisco IOS
configuration guides and command references.
Select the LAN interface to configure (using the keywords Ethernet or TokenRing):
Step 6
Router(config)# interface ethernet 0/0
Router(config-if)#
The prompt changes again to show that you are in interface configuration mode.
Step 7
Configure routing protocols on the interface. (You must have previously enabled these
protocols as part of global configuration.) In this example, IP, AppleTalk, and IPX are
being configured on the interface:
Router(config-if)# ip address 172.16.74.3 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)# appletalk static cable-range 3-3
Router(config-if)# appletalk zone ZZEth
Router(config-if)# ipx network B005
If your router has more than one LAN interface, enter the exit command to return to the
Step 8
Router(config)# prompt. Repeat Step 6 and Step 7 of this procedure to configure the next
LAN interface.
Step 9
When you are finished configuring interfaces, exit configuration mode and return to the
enable prompt by pressing Ctrl-Z. To see the current operating configuration, including
any changes you just made, enter the show running-config command:
Router# show running-config
To see the configuration currently stored in nonvolatile random-access memory
(NVRAM), enter the command show startup-config at the enable prompt.
Router# show startup-config
