Readme First for Cisco Configuration Professional

This router can be configured using Cisco Configuration Professional (Cisco CP) and Cisco Configuration Professional Express (Cisco CP Express).

Cisco CP is a GUI-based device management tool that allows you to configure Cisco IOS-based access routers, including Cisco integrated services routers, Cisco 7200 series routers, and the Cisco 7301 router. Cisco CP simplifies router, security, unified communications, wireless, WAN, and basic LAN configuration through GUI-based, easy-to-use wizards. Cisco CP is installed on a PC.

Cisco CP Express is a light weight version of Cisco CP. You can use Cisco CP Express to configure basic security features on the router's LAN and WAN interfaces. Cisco CP Express is available on the router Flash memory.

The Cisco Configuration Professional Quick Start Guide explains how to set up the PC to run Cisco CP Express, how to install Cisco CP, and how to begin using Cisco CP to configure features on the router.

Table 1 provides information about how to obtain Cisco CP and the Cisco Configuration Professional Quick Start Guide.
