The prompts in the setup command facility vary, depending on your router model, the installed interface modules, and the
software image. The following example and the user entries (in
bold) are shown as examples only.
For help with interface and port numbering, see the “Interface Numbering” section on page 16.
Note If you make a mistake while using the setup command facility, you can exit and run the setup command facility again.
Press Ctrl-C, and enter the setup command at the privileged EXEC mode prompt (Router#).

Step 4 Enter an enable secret password. This password is encrypted (more secure) and cannot be seen when viewing the

entered, becomes encrypted in the configuration.
Enter enable secret: xxxxxx
Step 5 Enter an enable password that is different from the enable secret password. This password is not encrypted (less secure)
and can be seen when viewing the configuration:
The enable password is used when you do not specify an
enable secret password, with some older software versions, and
some boot images.
Enter enable password: xxxxxx
Step 6 Enter the virtual terminal password, which prevents unauthenticated access to the router through ports other than the
console port:
The virtual terminal password is used to protect
access to the router over a network interface.
Enter virtual terminal password: xxxxxx
