continue with configuration dialog? [yes]:

Step 1

Enter yes or press Return to enter the initial configuration dialog.

You have the option of proceeding with the setup facility to configure the interfaces, or exiting from setup and using
configuration commands to configure global (system-wide) and interface-specific parameters. You do not have to
configure the interfaces immediately; however, you cannot enable the interfaces or connect them to any networks until
you have configured them.

Many of the port adapter LEDs do not go on until you have configured the interfaces. To verify correct operation of
each interface, complete the first-time startup procedures and configuration, and then refer to the configuration note
for each port adapter for LED descriptions and to check the status of the interfaces.

If the system does not complete each of the steps in the startup procedure, refer to the online

Installation and Configuration Guide

, Appendix A, “Troubleshooting the Installation,” for troubleshooting

recommendations and procedures.

Note

You need to acquire the correct network addresses from your system administrator or consult your network
plan to determine correct addresses before you can complete the router configuration.

Perform a Basic Configuration Using the Setup Facility

If you do not plan to use AutoInstall, do not connect the router’s serial (WAN) cable to the channel service unit/data service unit
(CSU/DSU). If the WAN cable is not connected, the router boots from Flash memory and goes automatically into the setup
facility.

Note

You can run the setup facility any time you are at the enable prompt (#) by entering the setup command.

If the serial (WAN) cable is connected to the CSU/DSU and the router does not have a configuration stored in NVRAM, the
router attempts to run AutoInstall at startup. The router may take several minutes to determine that AutoInstall is not set up
to a remote TCP/IP host. Once the router determines that AutoInstall is not configured, it defaults to the setup facility.

Configure Global Parameters

When you first start the setup program, you must configure the global parameters. These parameters are used for controlling
system-wide settings. Complete the following steps to enter the global parameters:

Step 1

Connect a console terminal to the console port on the I/O controller, NPE-G1, or NPE-G2.

Step 2

Power on the router.

The system boots from Flash memory. After startup, the console screen displays a script and a system banner—after
about 30 seconds—similar to the following. When you see this information, you have successfully booted your router:
