Cisco Systems v1.0 manual CMERouterXconfig# interface fastethernet 0/0.1

Step 2 Basic CME Router Configuration

a.Connect to the console port of a Cisco CallManager Express router and power it on. If the router has a configuration already on it, erase the router and reload it.

b.Enter privilege mode, and then configuration mode.

c.Change the hostname of the router. Use the command hostname CMERouterX, where X is the pod number assigned to the group. Throughout the rest of the lab, use IP Telephony Table 1 parameters based on the pod number assigned.

Router(config)# hostname CMERouterX

d.Set the enable secret password to cisco. (Do not deviate from this password.)

e.Use the command no ip domain-lookupto disable name resolution since there is no DNS server in the classroom lab.

CMERouterX(config)# no ip domain-lookup

f.Note that router commands are IOS and model specific. Examples given in this lab are the most common configurations seen. However, the command man vary slightly. For example, on a 1760 router the VTY lines are 0 through 15 instead of 0 through 4. Configure all the router VTY lines with parameters similar to the following:

CMERouterX(config)# line vty 0 4

CMERouterX(config-line)# password cisco

CMERouterX(config-line)# login

CMERouterX(config-line)# logging synchronous

g. Configure the console port parameters.

CMERouterX(config)# line console 0

CMERouterX(config-line)# password cisco

CMERouterX(config-line)# login

CMERouterX(config-line)# logging synchronous

h.Create a subinterface for the management VLAN by entering global configuration mode, and typing the command interface fastethernet 0/0.1. The management VLAN is the VLAN used to remotely manage network devices such as routers and switches.

Note: Depending on the model and physical configuration of the router, the interface could be a FastEthernet port or a Gigabit Ethernet port. Also, the router may have a different physical interface number (i.e., FastEthernet 0 or GigabitEthernet 2/0). If unsure about which interface is installed, verify the name of the Ethernet ports on the router by using the show running-configor show ip interface brief command.

CMERouterX(config)# interface fastethernet 0/0.1

What types of Ethernet interface(s) are on the router? ______________________________

i.Configure the subinterface for trunking by entering the command encapsulation dot1q 1. The 1 is the management VLAN number. The command instructs the router to use this subinterface for VLAN 1. If a warning message appears, ignore it. If this command does not work, the proper router is not being used.

CMERouterX(config-subif)# encapsulation dot1q 1
