Command Summary for Cisco 700 Series Router Profile Configuration

Profile

Command

Description

System

set switch

This command declares the switch type for the 700
series router. Valid choices would be DMS100, 5ESS,
NI1, and so on. Because the 700 series router only
supports a single BRI interface, there is no need for
further definition of the switch type.

set encapsulation

This command declares the encapsulation method for
the BRI connection. The choices here are PPP and
CPPP. PPP would be the most common setting.

set ppp authentication incoming

This command declares the authentication type for an
incoming call. The choices are CHAP, PAP, or NONE.
This feature is unique to the 700 IOS and enables the
authentication to take on a direction.

set ppp authentication outgoing

This command is similar to the incoming authentication,
but declares the method of authentication for calls
leaving the 700 series router. Again, the method
choices are CHAP, PAP, and NONE.

set ppp secret

This command declares the password for the 700
series router that is used for all calls leaving the 700.
This password would be used by PAP or CHAP as
declared by the set ppp authentication outgoing
command.

set active

This command activates the profile. This can be
accomplished by a router reboot after the configuration
is complete.

LAN

set bridging off

This command does what it suggests--it turns off
bridging on the LAN interface. Only those protocols
(IP or IPX) that are routed are passed.

set ip

This command declares the IP address for the LAN
interface.
