Chapter 4 Configuring the Router
Performing the Initial Configuration on the Router
When you configure the console line, you can also set communication parameters, specify autobaud
connections, and configure terminal operating parameters for the terminal that you are using. For more
information on configuring the console line, see the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals and
Network Management Configuration Guide. In particular, see the “Configuring Operating
Characteristics for Terminals” and “Troubleshooting and Fault Management” chapters.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. enable
2. configure terminal
3. line console 0
4. exec-timeout minutes [seconds]
5. end
6. show running-config
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action Purpose
Step 1
enable
Example:
Router> enable
Enables privileged EXEC mode.
• Enter your password if prompted.
Step 2
configure terminal
Example:
Router# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 3
line console 0
Example:
Router(config)# line console 0
Configures the console line and starts the line configuration
command collection mode.
Step 4
exec-timeout minutes [ seconds ]
Example:
Router(config-line)# exec-timeout 0 0
Sets the idle privileged EXEC timeout, which is the interval
that the privileged EXEC command interpreter waits until
user input is detected.
• The example shows how to specify no timeout. Setting
the exec-timeout value to 0 will cause the router to
never log out once logged in. This could have security
implications if you leave the console without manually
logging out using the disable command.
