Performing Complex Configurations

After you have installed your Cisco 7206 router hardware and minimally configured the system, you might need to perform more complex configurations, which are beyond the scope of this publication.

For specific information on system and interface configuration, refer to the modular configuration and modular command reference publications in the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation set that corresponds to the software release installed on your Cisco hardware. These publications contain additional information on using the configure command.
