EN - Configuration Basics

Hey gals'n guys,
I am the new one ;)
Lets start with some basic configuration steps, which should be applied to every maiden-like router or switch.

Every device startup should end in folowing prompt:

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

Of course chose "no" due to I have no idea what happens when chosing "yes" ;)
Now to get the CLI working smoothly you can copy and paste the following lines:

enable
configure terminal
line console 0
logging synchronous
exec-timeout 0 0

The shown commands do:
enable - priveledge mode
configure terminal - enter config mode
line console 0 - select console port for configurations
logging synchronous - after each router/switch generated output a carriage return (CR) is inserted
exec-timeout 0 0 - the session timeout is disabled

This will help help to keep track of the following configuration.

Zif
