Configuring the Router for a Single RSP8
Configuring the Router for a Single RSP8
If you have a single RSP8, you can configure your systemaccording to the Cisco IOS release appropriate
for your router. See the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation set that corresponds to the
software release installed on your Cisco hardware at
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/index.htm.
If you have more than one RSP8 (or an RSP8 and an RSP16), and you are using a Cisco 7507 or a
Cisco 7507-MX router or a Cisco 7513 or a Cisco 7513-MX router, you must configure your router for
either high system availability (HSA), the default (see the “Configuring High System Availability”
section on page 25), or high availability (HA) (see the “Enabling High Availability Features” section on
page 41).
Using the EXEC Command Interpreter
Before you configure your system using the EXEC-level commands, you must enter the privileged level
of the EXEC command interpreter using the enable command. The system prompts you for a password
if one has been set. The system prompt for the privileged EXEC level ends with a pound sign (#) instead
of an angle bracket (>).
At the console terminal, enter the privileged EXEC level as follows:
Step 1 At the EXEC prompt (>), use the enable command. The EXEC command interpreter prompts you for a
privileged-level password, as follows:
Router> enable
Password:
Step 2 Type the password (the password is case sensitive). For security purposes, the password is not displayed.
Step 3 When you specify the correct password, the system displays the privileged-level system prompt (#) as
follows:
Router#
The pound sign(#) at the systemprompt indicates theprivileged level of the EXEC commandinterpreter,
from which you can execute EXEC-level commands.
This completes the procedure for using the EXEC command interpreter.
For configuration information and support, refer to the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation
set that corresponds to the software release installed on your Cisco hardware.
