Setup Mode
Setup mode is not intended to be used to enter
complex protocol features in a router.
The purpose of the setup mode is to permit
administrators to install a basic configuration for
routers when a configuration cannot be obtained
from another source.
In the setup mode, default answers appear in
square brackets [ ] following the question.
Press the Enter key to use these defaults.
During the setup process, Ctrl-C can be pressed at
any time to terminate the process.
