Cisco Setup Command Facility
Cisco Setup Command Facility lets you configure the initial router settings through a configuration
dialog. If you see the following messages, the router has booted and is ready for initial configuration
using the setup command facility.
--- System Configuration Dialog ---
At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for 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/no]:
To follow the Cisco Setup command facility, see the “Performing the Initial Configuration on the
Router” section on page 6-4.
Note If the system configuration dialog message does not appear, a default configuration file was
installed on the router prior to shipping. See the

Express” section on page 6-8 to configure the router.
