Discussion

At this point in configuring the router, you should either load an existing router configuration
file, as described in Recipe 1.12, or add user accounts to the configuration
(see Recipe 2.5), including one for yourself, and then log out and log back in to the
router using your user ID.

1.2 Configuring the Router from the CLI

Discussion
When you want to modify the router’s configuration, log in to the router, enter configuration
mode as shown in this example, and then create a hierarchy of configuration
statements that define the desired router operation. There are other ways to
configure the router, which are discussed later in the chapter, including loading a
configuration file from a remote server or from the local router and loading a previous
router configuration.
When you want the configuration to take effect, you must activate, or commit, it.
