Tip Basic configuration setup is often used as a quick way to achieve network connectivity, allowing you to retrieve a
configuration file from a TFTP server.
Using the System Configuration Dialog
Use the System Configuration Dialog to help you perform a basic configuration. Proceed through the dialog by answering
questions and then pressing the Enter key. In most cases, you can get additional information by entering a question mark (?).
Throughout the dialog, default values are shown in square brackets ([ ]).
Tip If you have experience using Cisco routers, consider configuring the router by using the procedure described in the
“Basic Configuration in Global Configuration Mode” section on page 39 .
To cancel the configuration dialog, press Ctrl-C, or you can let the dialog help you perform one of two configuration types:
• Basic configuration setup configures only enough connectivity for management of the system.
• Extended setup asks you to configure each interface and is not appropriate for configuring the Cisco 10008 router. For more
information, see the
Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide .
You can run the setup facility any time you are at the enable prompt (#) by entering the setup command.
