Connecting a Video Terminal to the PRE Console Port
The Cisco 10008 router PRE has an asynchronous serial (EIA/TIA-232) RJ-45 console port labeled CON on its front panel. You can connect this port to most types of video terminals through the use of the console cable kit that is included with your Cisco 10008 router. The console cable kit contains:
•
•
•
A crossover cable reverses pin connections from one end to the other. In other words, it connects pin 1 (at one end) to pin 8 (at the other end), pin 2 to pin 7, pin 3 to pin 6, and so on. You can identify a crossover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cable ends side-by-side with the tabs at the back. Ensure that the wire connected to the outside (left) pin of the left plug (pin 1) is the same color as the wire connected to the outside (right) pin of the right plug (pin 8).

The first time you power on a Cisco 10008 router, the setup facility starts. You can also initiate the setup facility by running the setup command in privileged EXEC mode. This facility helps you enhance a default configuration that already exists on the Cisco 10008 router. The setup facility uses a question-and-answer sequence called the System Configuration Dialog to walk you through configuring the router.
You do not have to configure the interfaces immediately; however, you cannot enable the interfaces or connect them to any networks until you have configured them.
Tip
Using the System Configuration Dialog
Use the System Configuration Dialog to help you perform a basic configuration. Proceed through the dialog by answering questions and then pressing the Enter key. In most cases, you can get additional information by entering a question mark (?). Throughout the dialog, default values are shown in square brackets ([ ]).
Tip
To cancel the configuration dialog, press Ctrl-C, or you can let the dialog help you perform one of two configuration types:
•
•
You can run the setup facility any time you are at the enable prompt (#) by entering the setup command.

For specific information on system and interface configuration, see the Cisco 10000 Series Router Line Card Configuration Guide.
8 Formatting Flash Disks and Flash Cards
The Flash disk or Flash card that shipped with your router contains the default Cisco IOS image for booting your router. This section explains how to format an ATA Flash disk, modify its contents, or resolve a problem with the Flash card.
Caution
ATA Flash disks and Flash cards use similar commands. The primary syntax change is that disk0: or disk1: refers to ATA Flash disks, while slot0: or slot1: refers to Flash memory cards.
Use the following procedure to format a Flash disk:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
The following example shows the display after you enter the format disk0: command:
Router# format disk0: All sectors will be erased, proceed? [confirm] Enter volume id (up to 30 characters): MyNewdisk Formatting sector 1 Format device slot0 completedThe Flash disk is now ready for use.
9 Managing the File Systems
This section describes the file systems used on the Cisco 10008 router and provides procedures for performing basic file system tasks.
File Systems
The Cisco 10008 router includes the file systems described in the following table.
Flash disks and the smaller Flash cards use similar commands. The primary syntax change is that disk0: or disk1: refers to Flash disks, and slot0: or slot1: refers to Flash cards.
You can use the privileged EXEC commands dir, del, and copy to manage the contents of the file systems. You can also use the commands mkdir and rmdir to create and remove directories on Flash disks. You cannot use the commands squeeze and undelete on Flash disks. For more information, refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
Copying the Startup Configuration to the Running Configuration
Use the copy startup-config running-config command to copy the startup configuration file on NVRAM to the running configuration. If your startup configuration file is approaching the NVRAM limit of 512 KB, you must either compress it or relocate it as described in the "Managing Configuration Files Larger than NVRAM" section.
Tip
Managing Configuration Files Larger than NVRAM
To maintain a configuration file that exceeds the size of NVRAM (512 KB), you must compress or relocate the configuration file. This section provides an example of each approach. For more information, refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
Compressing the Configuration File
Use the service compress-config global configuration command to compress the configuration file for storage in NVRAM. A compressed file can take several minutes longer to load than an uncompressed file.
To compress configuration files, use the following commands, beginning in global configuration mode:
Step 1
Router(config)# service compress-configStep 2
Router(config)# endStep 3
Router# copy running-config startup-configBuilding configuration...Compressing configuration from 129648 bytes to 11077 bytes[OK]To cancel the compression feature, use the no service compress-config command.
Note
Relocating the Configuration to a Flash Disk
To run the startup configuration off a Flash disk, use the following commands beginning in privileged EXEC mode:
Step 1
Router# copy tftp://172.16.2.15/example-config disk0:router-configStep 2
Router# configure terminalRouter(config)#Step 3
Router(config)# boot buffersize 1024000Step 4
Router(config)# boot config disk0:router-configStep 5
Router(config)# endStep 6
