Chapter 7 Power-Up Procedures for Cisco 1800 Series Routers (Modular)

Initial Configuration of the Router

•Cisco Router and Security Device Manager—See the “Cisco Router and Security Device Manager” section on page 7-6

•Setup command facility—See the “Initial Configuration Using the Setup Command Facility” section in the Cisco 1800 Series Integrated Services Routers (Modular) Quick Start Guide.

•Command-line interface (CLI)—See the “Initial Configuration Using Cisco CLI—Manual Configuration” section in the Cisco 1800 Series Integrated Services Routers (Modular) Quick Start Guide.

Cisco Router and Security Device Manager

If the Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) has been installed on your router, the following messages appear at the end of the startup sequence:

yourname con0 is now available

Press RETURN to get started.

For instructions on configuring your router by using SDM, see the Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) Quick Start Guide. To use SDM, you can download the latest version of SDM and instructions for installing it on your router:
