Installation Notes
This section contains important information regarding the installation of Cisco CP Express.
•Downloading Cisco CP Express from Cisco.com and Installing it on the Router
•Uninstalling Cisco CP Express Files
Downloading Cisco CP Express from Cisco.com and Installing it on the Router
If Cisco CP Express is not currently installed on the router, complete the following steps to install it:
Step 1 Go to http://www.cisco.com/go/ciscocp, and click Download Software in the Support box.
Step 2 If a login page appears, enter your login credentials. In the Software Download page, click Cisco Configuration Professional.
Step 3 In the next download page that appears, click the release number to download.
Step 4 Click the Cisco Configuration Professional Express Package link. The zip file contains the Cisco CP Express installation files.
Uninstalling Cisco CP Express Files
To remove Cisco CP Express from flash memory or from a router disk file system, you can log onto the router and complete the following steps in EXEC mode:
Step 1 Change to the directory in which the Cisco CP Express files are located.
If the router has a flash file system, use the following command:
If the router has a disk file system, use the following command:
Replace N with the actual number of the disk. Use the slot keyword instead of the disk keyword if necessary.
Step 2 Use the delete command to remove the Cisco CP Express files. The example below deletes the file cpexpress.tar:
router# delete cpexpress.tar
Delete filename [cpexpress.tar]?
Delete flash:cpexpress.tar? [confirm]
Press Return to confirm the deletion.
Step 3 Use the delete command to remove the remaining Cisco CP Express files.
Step 4 Reclaim memory space by using the squeeze flash: command:
It is not necessary to use the squeeze flash: command on DOS-based file systems.
Important Notes
This section contains important information for Cisco CP Express. It contains the following sections:
•Cisco IOS Enforces One-Time Use of Default Credentials

•Caveats
Cisco IOS Enforces One-Time Use of Default Credentials
To address CSCsm25466, Cisco IOS images included with recent shipments of Cisco 800, Cisco 1800, Cisco 2800, Cisco 2900, Cisco 3800, and Cisco 3900 routers, enforce the one-time use of the default username and password provided in the default configuration file shipped with Cisco CP Express and Cisco CP. If you bypass Cisco CP Express and use a console or Telnet connection to log into the router, the login and EXEC banners warn you that you must change the username to "cisco" and the password to "cisco" before you log off of the router. If you do not change the credentials as directed, you will not be able to log into the router the next time that you attempt to do so.
The following Cisco IOS releases enforce the one-time use of the default credentials:
•12.4(11)T or later
•12.4(11)SW, 12.4(11)SW1, 12.4(11)XV, 12.4(11)XJ
•12.4(9)T5, 12.4(9)T6
•15.0(1)M or later
Follow the procedure in this section to secure the router by creating a new username and password, to remove the login banner and exec banner warnings, and to save the configuration changes to the router startup configuration.
Note If you log into the router using a Telnet or a console connection but do not complete the steps in this procedure, be aware of the following:
•If you do not change the default username and password, and then log off the router, you will not be able to log into the router again without entering the reload command. No additional warning is given before you log off.
•If you do not change the default username and password, but do enter the write memory command before ending the session, future logins will be disabled. In this case, you will need to follow the password recovery procedure at the following link:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1831/products_tech_note09186a00801746e6.shtml
To secure the router, remove the banner warnings, and save the changes to the router startup configuration, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Connect the blue console port on your router to a serial port on your PC using the light blue console cable, which is included with your router. Refer to your router's hardware installation guide for instructions.
Step 2 Connect the power supply to your router, plug the power supply into a power outlet, and turn on your router. Refer to your router's quick start guide for instructions.
Step 3 Use Hyper Terminal or a similar terminal emulation program on your PC, with the terminal emulation settings of 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control, to connect to your router.
Step 4 When prompted, enter the username cisco and password cisco.
Step 5 Enter configuration mode by entering the following command:
yourname# configure terminal
Step 6 Create a new username and password by entering the following command:
yourname(config)# username username privilege 15 secret 0 password
Replace username and password with the username and password that you want to use.
Step 7 Remove the default username and password by entering the following command:
yourname(config)# no username cisco
Step 8 To remove the login banner, enter the following command:
yourname(config)# no banner login
The login banner warning will no longer appear.
Step 9 To remove the exec banner, enter the following command:
yourname(config)# no banner exec
The exec banner warning will no longer appear.
Step 10 Leave the configuration mode, by entering the following command:
Step 11 Copy the configuration changes to the startup configuration by entering the following command:
yourname# copy running-config startup-config
When logging into the router in the future, use the username and password that you created in Step 6.
Cisco CP Express May Not Operate with Custom Configuration File
If you load a custom configuration file on the router using Cisco CP Express or any other process, you may remove CLI commands that Cisco CP Express operation requires and prevent it from operating. Cisco CP requires the following basic configuration to connect to the router and manage it.
•HTTP or HTTPS server must be enabled with local authentication.
•Local user account with privilege level 15 and accompanying password must be configured.
•Vty with protocol Secure Shell (SSH)/Telnet must be enabled with local authentication. This is needed for interactive commands.
•HTTP timeout policy must be configured with the parameters shown in the following example to avoid a known launch issue with Cisco CP Express.
•PC on which Cisco CP Express is to run and the interface through which Cisco CP Express will be launched must be configured with IP addresses from the same subnet.
The following example shows a configuration that contains the CLI commands Cisco CP Express requires to operate.

Popup Blockers Disable Cisco CP Express Online Help
If you have enabled popup blockers in the browser you use to run Cisco CP Express, online help will not appear when you click the help button. To prevent this from happening, you must disable the popup blocker when you run Cisco CP Express. Popup blockers may be enabled in search engine tool bars, or may be standalone applications integrated with the web browser.
Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 blocks popups by default. To turn off popup blocking in Internet Explorer, go to Tools > Pop-up Blocker > Turn Off Pop-up Blocker.
If you have not installed and enabled third-party pop up blockers, go to Tools > Internet Options > Privacy, and uncheck the Block popups checkbox.
In Firefox 1.5 and later versions, click Tools > Options > Content. Uncheck Block pop-up windows.
