This chapter describes how to power up the Cisco VG310 and Cisco VG320 and perform the initial configuration in the following sections:
Before you begin the configuration process, get the IP address for the 10/100/1000BASE-T ports.
Check the following items before powering up Cisco VG310 or Cisco VG320:
Chassis is securely mounted and grounded.
Power and interface cables are connected.
The external CompactFlash memory card is properly seated into its slot.
PC with terminal-emulation program (HyperTerminal or equivalent) is connected to the console port and configured for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and flow control is set to None.
Suitable PC COM port is selected in the terminal-emulation program.
Passwords for access control are selected.
IP addresses for the Ethernet and serial interfaces have been determined.
Perform this procedure to power on your voice gateway and verify that it goes through its initialization and self-test. When this is finished, the voice gateway is ready to configure.
Step 1 |
Power on your terminal or PC, and configure it for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. |
||
Step 2 |
Move the voice gateway power switch to the ON position.
|
||
Step 3 |
Use any of the following tools to perform the initial configuration:

Use the following tools to perform the initial configuration on the voice gateway:
The setup command facility prompts you to enter the information that is needed to configure Cisco VG310 or Cisco VG320 quickly. The facility steps you through a initial configuration, including LAN and WAN interfaces. For more general information about the 4719407618 command facility, see the chapter Configuration Using Setup and Autoinstall in the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide, Release 12.4, at Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide, Cisco IOS Release 15.0S.
This section explains how to configure a hostname for the voice gateway, set passwords, and configure an interface for communication with the management network.
Note |
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# ).
|
Step 1 |
From the Cisco IOS CLI, enter the setup command in privileged EXEC mode:
You are now in the Setup Configuration Utility. |

Step 5 |
Enter a hostname for the voice gateway. The following message is displayed:
|
||
Step 6 |
Enter an enable secret password. This password is encrypted and cannot be seen when viewing the configuration. The following message is displayed:
|
||
Step 7 |
Enter an enable password that is different from the enable secret password. This password is not encrypted (and is less secure) and can be seen when viewing the configuration. The following message is displayed:
|
||
Step 8 |
Enter the virtual terminal password and press Enter. The virtual terminal password prevents unauthenticated access to the gateway through ports other than the console port. The following message is displayed:
|
||
Step 9 |
Enter yes.
|
||
Step 10 |
Select one of the available interfaces to connect the voice gateway to the management network. In the following example, gigabitethernet0/1 is selected:
|
||
Step 11 |
Respond to the following prompts as appropriate for your network:
The configuration command script is created.
