Configuring the Switch for the First Time
Configuring the Switch
When you reach and respond to the configuration dialog for the last installed interface, your interface
configuration is complete.
Step 3
Check and verify the entire list of configuration parameters, which should display on your console
terminal and end with the following query:
Use this configuration? [yes/no]:
A no response places you back at the enable prompt (#). You will need to reenter the setup command to
reenter your configuration. A yes response saves the running configuration to NVRAM as follows:
Use this configuration? [yes/no]: yes
[OK]
Use the enabled mode 'configure' command to modify this configuration.
Press RETURN to get started!
After you press the Return key, this prompt appears:
Router>
This completes the procedures for configuring global parameters and interface parameters in your
system. Your interfaces are now available for limited use.
If you want to modify the currently saved configuration parameters after the initial configuration, enter
the setup command. To perform more complex configurations, enter configuration mode and use the
configure command. Check the current state of the switch using the show version command, which
displays the software version and the interfaces, as follows:
