Performing the Initial Configuration on the Router

Verifying the Front Panel LED Indications

The front-panel indicator LEDs described in Table 1-4provide power, activity, and status information useful during power up.

Performing the Initial Configuration on the Router

Use any of the following tools to perform the initial configuration on the router:

Using the Cisco Setup Command Facility, page 5-3

Using Cisco Configuration Professional Express, page 5-6

Using the Cisco CLI—Manual Configuration, page 5-6

Note Cisco recommends using Cisco Configuration Professional Express to perform the initial configuration on the router because it provides a web-based graphical-user interface (GUI).

Using the Cisco Setup Command Facility

Cisco Setup Command Facility lets you configure the initial router settings through a configuration dialog. If you see the following messages, the router has booted and is ready for initial configuration using the setup command facility.

--- System Configuration Dialog ---

At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help.

Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt.

Default settings are in square brackets '[]'.

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

 

 

If the system configuration dialog message does not appear, a default configuration file was installed on

 

 

the router prior to shipping. See the “Using Cisco Configuration Professional Express” section on

 

 

page 5-6to configure the router.

 

 

The setup command facility prompts you to enter the information that is needed to configure a router

 

 

quickly. The facility steps you through a initial configuration, including LAN and WAN interfaces. For

 

 

more general information about the setup command facility, see Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals

 

 

Configuration Guide, Release 12.4.

 

 

 

Note

The messages that are displayed will vary based on your router model, the installed interface

 

 

modules, and the software image. The following example and the user entries (in bold) are shown

 

 

as examples only.

 

 

If you make a mistake while using the setup command facility, you can exit and run the setup

 

 

command facility again. Press Ctrl-C, and enter the setup command in privileged EXEC mode

 

 

(Router#).
