SETUP MODE

SETUP MODE

2 Options :

• Basic Management
• Extended Setup

Basic allows you only basic configuration to allow connectivity to router
Extended allows configuration of global parameters and interface configuration parameters

Setup Mode allows configuration of 2 kinds of enable passwords:
Enable
Secret

Secret is encrypted while Enable is in clear. If Secret is configured enable will not be in used

Telnet passwords are also configured in setup mode. Note if Telnet passwords are not configured then we will not be able to Telnet


You can proceed to configure ISDN parameters, Async parameters, interfaces' IP addresses, hostnames etc. before exiting or you can exit setup mode anytime by using CTRL-C

You can go back to setup mode by typing setup command at IOS CLI ( COMMAND LINE INTERFACE) which I will be covering next
