Describes how to set the dialog process in the Cisco router manual.

In chapter 3 of the Cisco router manual, we will explain the "setup dialog process". This article is taken from the manual. This makes it easier for you to focus on setting up conversations. Global parameter settings, interface parameter settings, and display results. Setting Dialog can avoid the hassle of manually entering commands, but it cannot completely replace manual settings, some special settings must also be manually entered. After entering the setup dialog process according to the Cisco router manual, the router will first display some prompts:

--- SystemConfigurationDialog ---
Atanypointyoumayenteraquestionmark '? 'Forhelp.
Usectrl-ctoabortconfigurationdialogatanyprompt.
Defaultsettingsareinsquarebrackets '[]'.

This tells you that you can type "?" in any part of the dialog setting process. With help from the system, press ctrl-c to exit the setting process. The default setting is displayed in. Then, the vro will ask whether to enter the setup dialog: Wouldyouliketoentertheinitialconfigurationdialog? [Yes]: If you press y or enter, refer to the Cisco router manual to enter the dialog setting process. First, you can see the current status of each port: First, wouldyouliketoseethecurrentinterfacesummary? [Yes]: AnyinterfacelistedwithOK? Value "NO" doesnothaveavalidconfigurationInterface, IP-Address, OK? Method, Status, Protocol, Ethernet0, unassigned, NO, unset, up, up, Serial, 0 unassigned, NO, unset, up, up. Then, the vro starts setting global parameters: Configuringglobalparameters:

1. Set the vro name: Enterhostname [Router]:

2. Set the ciphertext (secret) in the privileged state. the ciphertext will not be displayed in plaintext after the setting: Theenablesecretisaone-waycryptographicsecretused, instead of the enable password when it exists., Enterenablesecret: cisco

3. set the password to enter the privileged state. This password only takes effect when no ciphertext is available and will be displayed in plaintext after the setting: Theenable password isu sed when there is no enable secret, and when using older software and some boot images. enterenablepassword: pass

4. Set the password for access from the virtual terminal: Entervirtualterminalpassword: cisco

5. Asked if you want to follow the Cisco router manual to set various network protocols supported by the router: ConfigureSNMPNetworkManagement? [Yes]: ConfigureDECnet? [No]: ConfigureAppleTalk? [No]: ConfigureIPX? [No]: ConfigureIP? [Yes]: ConfigureIGRProuting? [Yes]: assumeriprouting? [No]:

6. If a dial-up access server is configured, the system will also set the asynchronous port parameter: ConfigureAsynclines? [Yes]:

(1) set the maximum line speed: Asynclinespeed [9600]:
2) Do I use hardware traffic control: ConfigureforHWflowcontrol? [Yes]:
3) set modem: Configureformodems? [Yes/no]: yes
4) Do you want to use the default modem command: configurefordefachatchatscript? [Yes]:
5) Do you want to set the PPP parameter of the asynchronous port: ConfigureforDial-inIPSLIP/PPPaccess? [No]: yes
6) are dynamic IP addresses used: ConfigureforDynamicIPaddresses? [Yes]:
7) do I use the default IP Address: ConfigureDefaultIPaddresses? [No]: yes
8) is TCP Header Compression used: ConfigureforTCPHeaderCompression? [Yes]:
9) is route table update used on the asynchronous port: Configureforroutingupdatesonasynclinks? [No]: y
10) whether to set other protocols on the asynchronous port. Next, the system sets parameters for each interface according to the Cisco router manual.

1) Is this interface used: Isthisinterfaceinuse? [Yes]:
2) Do you want to set the IP parameter ConfigureIPonthisinterface for this interface? [Yes]:
3) set the IP address of the interface: IPaddressforthisinterface: 192.168.162.2
4) set the interface IP subnet mask: Numberofbitsinsubnetfield [0]: ClassCnetworkis192.168.162.0, 0 subnetbits; maskis/24

After setting parameters for all interfaces, the system displays the result of the entire set dialog process: Thefollowingconfigurationcommandscriptwascreated: hostnameRouter, enablesecret5 $1 $ W5Oh $ signature, enablepasswordpass. Note that garbled characters are displayed after enablesecret, while enablepassword displays the set content. After the display ends, the system will ask whether to use this setting: Usethisconfiguration? [Yes/no]: yes. If yes is answered, the system will save the setting result to the nvram of the vro, and end the Setting dialog process. According to the Cisco router manual, make the router start to work normally.
