Configuring the CiscouBR10012Router Using the Setup Facility
The CiscouBR10000series Setup facility (also called the System Configuration dialog) is a useful and
efficient tool for configuring your CMTS. The Setup facility supports the following functions so that
cable interfaces and cable interface line cards are fully operational (after initial setup):
•Cable-specific commands
•Upstream frequency definition
For each cable interface, the following information is mandatory:
Per upstream:
cable upstream n frequency f
no cable upstream n shutdown
Options include definition of the following information:
•DHCP server address.
•Options are also provided to set downstream frequency for the upconverter per interface.
If you do not plan to use AutoInstall, do not connect the router’s WAN or LAN cable to the channel
service unit (CSU) and data service unit (DSU). If the WAN or LAN cable is connected to the CSU and
DSU and the router does not have a configuration stored in NVRAM, the router attempts to run
AutoInstall at startup.
Tip The router might take several minutes to determine that AutoInstall is not set up to a remote TCP/IP
host. When the router determines that AutoInstall is not configured, it defaults to the Setup facility.
If the LAN or WAN cable is not connected, the router boots from Flash memory and automatically
runs the Setup facility.
Note You can run the Setup facility when the enable prompt (#) is displayed, by entering the setup
command in privileged EXEC mode.

Configuring Global Parameters

When you first start the program, configure the global parameters to control system-wide settings:
Step1 Connect a console terminal to the console port on the I/O controller, and then boot the router.
Step2 After booting from Flash memory, the following information appears after about 30seconds. When you
see this information, you have successfully booted your router:
