First-Time Startup

First-Time Startup

This chapter takes you through first-time startup. Use the information you entered on the Global and Interface Configuration Worksheets as you interact with the System Configuration Dialog. If you have not completed the worksheet, you should read the "Preparing for First-Time Startup" chapter earlier in this publication before starting up.

This chapter includes sample worksheets that are filled in to show you how the information you have written on the worksheets is used when the setup command facility runs through the System Configuration Dialog.


Note Some configuration parameters discussed in this publication (and shown on the configuration worksheets) apply only to server products that have the protocol translation option. If your server product does not have protocol translation, the interactive setup command facility does not prompt you for these parameters.

Overview of the First-Time Startup Process

The first time you start up the system, the setup command facility operates automatically. An interactive dialog called the System Configuration Dialog is displayed on the screen of the system console. The dialog navigates you through the configuration process by prompting you for the information you should have already recorded on the configuration worksheets. Default and help information available within the dialog is described later in this section.

The setup command facility knows which interfaces are installed and prompts you for configuration information for each installed interface. When you finish configuring one interface, the setup command facility prompts you for the next interface and continues until each interface is configured.

At first-time startup, you must complete the following tasks:

Default Values Using the Setup Command Facility

For many prompts in the System Configuration Dialog of the setup command facility, default answers appear in square brackets following the question. By pressing the Return key, you accept the defaults. If the system was previously configured, the defaults that appear are the currently configured values. If you are configuring the system for the first time, the factory defaults are provided. If no factory default exists, as in the case of passwords, nothing is displayed after the question mark.

Help Text Using the Setup Command Facility

At any time during use of the setup command facility, you may request help by typing a question mark (?) at a given prompt. If the prompt requires a yes or no answer, no further help is available. However, if the prompt offers a range of acceptable answers, the help facility will give you some guidance. For example, if you are prompted to select the number of bits in a subnet mask, the help facility might inform you that you can choose a decimal number between 0 and 22.

Powering Up Your System

Before powering up your system, check for correct AC power voltages.

Caution Check the voltage rating label at the back of the unit for correct voltage configuration. The ASM-CS is configured at the factory for either 110 VAC or 220 VAC operation, as requested when ordered. The 500-CS automatically configures the power supply for the applied input voltage and may be connected to any AC source from 110 to 240 VAC.

Now you can safely power up your system.

Verifying Installed Software and Hardware

When you first power up your console and network router or communication server, a script similar to the following appears on the screen. The first section of the script displays banner information, including the software version and the System Configuration Dialog. (A sample of the complete configuration script produced is included at the end of this chapter.)

Restricted Rights Legend Use, duplication, or disclosure by the Government is subject to restrictions as set forth in subparagraph (c) of the Commercial Computer Software - Restricted Rights clause at FAR sec. 52.227-19 and subparagraph (c) (1) (ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software clause at DFARS sec. 252.227-7013.

The next portion of the script lists installed hardware and software options. The system displays appropriate interfaces for these options during the configuration process.

Note The first two sections of the configuration script (the banner and the installed hardware) appear only at initial system startup. On subsequent uses of the setup command facility, the script begins with the System Configuration Dialog and asks whether you want to continue.

The System Configuration Dialog appears next, and prompts for configuration information. Press the Return key to accept the default settings, which appear in square brackets.

--- System Configuration Dialog --- At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help. Refer to the 'Getting Started' Guide for additional help. Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt. Default settings are in square brackets '[]'. Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes]: First, would you like to see the current interface summary? [yes]: Any interface listed with OK? value "NO" does not have a valid configuration Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol Ethernet0 unassigned NO not set up down Serial0 unassigned NO not set down down Serial1 unassigned NO not set down down

At this point, you can choose not to continue with the System Configuration Dialog and exit by answering No to the prompt. To begin the configuration process, answer Yes. You can press Ctrl-C to abort the process at any time. Ctrl-C returns you to the privileged EXEC prompt (cs#). For information about configuring the communication server, refer to the Access and Communication Servers Configuration Guide. For more information about configuring your Cisco 2500 as a router, refer to the Router Products Configuration Guide.

If a --More-- prompt appears, press the space bar to continue.

Configuring Global and Interface Parameters

You will be prompted at the console for global parameters, then for interface parameters . Use the values you entered on the two worksheets and enter the parameters at the prompts.

Storing the Configuration in Nonvolatile Memory

When you complete the configuration process for all installed interfaces on your communication server, the setup command facility presents the configuration command script that was created. It also asks you if you want to use this configuration. If you answer Yes, the configuration is saved to nonvolatile memory. If you answer No, the configuration is not saved and the process begins again. There is no default for this prompt; you must answer either Yes or No.

Once you have answered Yes to this last question, your system is now ready to be used. If you want to modify the configuration you have just established, refer to the chapter titled "Where to Go from Here."

Sample Configuration

Figure 3-1, Figure 3-2, and Figure 3-3 show sample completed worksheets for a first-time startup configuration. Following the worksheets is the actual screen output for the setup command facility at first-time startup and the user responses as shown on the completed worksheets.

In the sample System Configuration Dialog, when it appears that no response was made, the user pressed the Return key to accept the default.


Note In the following sample setup command facility session, XNS and Novell IPX are both configured on individual interfaces, simply to show the results of turning both on at the same time. The sample configuration command script created after the setup command facility says Turn off XNS to prevent network conflicts. You should not enable both XNS and Novell IPX at the same time or you will have network conflicts.

First-time startup is complete. Your server product is now ready to use. If you want to modify the configuration you have just established during first-time startup, use the setup command facility described in the "Where to Go from Here" chapter. To perform more complex configurations, use the configure command described in the Access and Communication Servers Configuration Guide and the Access and Communication Servers Command Reference publication. To make telecommuting or terminal service connections, refer to the Cisco Access Connection Guide.
