RE: The Initial Configuration

Here are mine, for reasons given below:

ser time deb dat
ser time log dat
ip tcp syn 3
no ip domain-lookup
line vty 0 4
login
pass cisco
logging synch
exit
line con 0
no exec-timeout
logging sync
alias exec s sho run
alias exec c conf t
alias exec o sh ip ospf
alias exec i sh ip route
alias exec b sh ip bgp
alias exec d sh dlsw
alias exec x sh ipx route
alias exec cix clear ipx route *
alias exec cb clear ip bgp *
alias exec ci clear ip route *
alias exec co clear ip ospf p
alias exec sd show dialer
alias exec si show isdn status

for the "s" (show run) I can then issue a "s int e0" to look at the Ethernet
config alone (on 12.x) ... as well, for "o" I can issue "o n" for "sh ip
ospf neigh" and "o int e0" to look at OSPF on the Ethernet interface, or "d
p" for "show dlsw peers" ... I like to keep things condensed so that they
have multiple uses ... I agree as well with the comment on privilege level,
since (a) you don't need it for initial configuration and (b) if there is an
access issue during troubleshooting, that is someplace to look that is easy
to fix but looks nasty (like changing the router prompt to "rommon>" !) ..
the service timestamps are obvious, and the "ip tcp syn 3" keeps failed
telnets from taking too many precious seconds

HTH .. 10 days to San Jose!

What I like to do is add all the regular commands and then put hostname
last...that way it is waiting for you to hit enter...so you type the
hostname in and hit enter and go...saves the time of putting it on each
router. I really would rather just pass the lab so I don't have to worry
about little stuff like this...

Greetings Everyone,

I was wondering, what are the 1st few configuration steps you would
recommend to do on a CCIE LAB router before any specific configuration takes
place. For example, before I do any specific/high level router
configurations, I configure the following...

1 - "HOSTNAME"
2 - "NO IP DOMAIN-LOOKUP"
3 - "ENABLE SECRET <password>"

I was thinking about apply a password on my VTY interface, but then I
realized "what if I need to configure a dynamic access-list" then I would
have to reconfigure my VTY interfaces and create a local database...

Any of you have any suggestions?

John
