This document discusses the startup process and configuration of a Cisco router. It explains that when a router boots up, it first runs a power-on self-test and loads the operating system from IOS. It then checks the configuration register and uses the boot system commands to determine where to load the startup configuration from, such as NVRAM, flash, or the network. If no startup configuration is found, it will enter setup mode to configure the router for initial use. The document outlines the setup dialog and script creation process. It also lists some relevant startup-related commands.

--- System Configuration Dialog ---

Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:


The Setup Dialog

 You can use go into the system configuration dialog from the
command prompt.

mode to setup the router. - It is limiting in its functions and
can create problems if you do not answer a question correctly.
The Setup Dialog
To break out of this
process, press
<control> C
Script Creation

New prompt
[0] Go to the IOS command prompt without
saving this config.
[1] Return back to the setup without
saving this config.
[2] Save this configuration to nvram and
exit.

 After you have answered the Setup dialog questions, the router will
output the script you created.
 If you answer no, the configuration will not be saved, and the process
will begin again.
 After you have answered yes to the last question, the configuration will
be saved to NVRAM as the startup-config and your system will be
ready to use.
 There is no default for this prompt; you must answer either yes or no.
Startup-Related Commands

Issue this command when you are


done with your lab!
Reboots the router. If changes were made without
copy run start, you will be prompted to save changes.
After your lab, you only need to turn off the router.

* For use with router using release 10.3 or earlier
