Initial Configuration

This chapter provides instructions for initial configuration of the Cisco 819 Integrated Services Routers
(ISRs). For the initial configuration, we recommend using
Cisco Configuration Professional (CP) Express. Cisco CP Express is a web-based GUI that guides you
through initial configuration.
You may also initially configure your router by using the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) or by
using the setup command facility. To create the initial configuration, the setup command facility prompts
you for basic information about your router and network.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Cisco Configuration Professional Express, page 4-1
• Cisco IOS CLI, page 4-1
• Setup Command Facility, page 4-3
• Verifying the Initial Configuration, page 4-5
