Software Elements

The operating system for Cisco IAD2430 series IADs is the Cisco IOS software that resides in flash memory.

Configuration Connections

You can use an ASCII terminal or a PC to configure a Cisco IAD2430 series IAD. The configuration can be performed in several ways:

Locally, with a direct connection through the console port

Remotely, with a connection through the auxiliary port and a modem

Through Telnet and TFTP

Configuration Methods

Automated Configuration

If your Cisco IAD2430 series IAD was ordered with the Simple Network-Enabled Auto-Provision (SNAP) option, no on-site configuration is required. When the Cisco IAD is powered on and connected to the WAN, the SNAP application downloads the applicable configuration files automatically. For additional information about SNAP, refer to the Simple Network-EnabledAuto-Provisioning for Cisco 2420 Series IAD feature module at the following URL:

Manual Configuration

When a Cisco IAD2430 series IAD is first installed, use the procedure in

Chapter 4, “Powering On Cisco IAD2430 Series IADs,” for the initial configuration. This sets the basic communication parameters. After the Cisco IAD is operating and able to communicate, use the procedures in the Cisco IAD2430 Series Software Configuration Guide to configure the specific services and functions, or to make changes to the existing configuration.

There are multiple methods for configuring a Cisco IAD2430 series IAD:

System configuration dialog

Configuration mode—Cisco IOS software command-line interface (CLI)

Setup command facility—Remote configuration through a LAN or WAN

SNMP-based application—CiscoView or HP OpenView

HTTP-based configuration server—Provides access to the CLI from a web browser
