Information Needed for Configuration

You need to gather some or all of the following information, depending on your planned network scenario, before configuring your network:

•If you are setting up an Internet connection, gather the following information:

–PPP client name that is assigned as your login name

–PPP authentication type: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) or Password Authentication Protocol (PAP)

–PPP password to access your Internet service provider (ISP) account

–DNS server IP address and default gateways

•If you are setting up a connection to a corporate network, you and the network administrator must generate and share the following information for the WAN interfaces of the routers:

–PPP authentication type: CHAP or PAP

–PPP client name to access the router

–PPP password to access the router

•If you are setting up IP routing:

–Generate the addressing scheme for your IP network.

–Determine the IP routing parameter information, including IP address and ATM permanent virtual circuits (PVCs). These PVC parameters are typically virtual path identifier (VPI), virtual circuit identifier (VCI), and traffic-shaping parameters.

–Determine the number of PVCs that your service provider has given you, along with their VPIs and VCIs.

–For each PVC determine the type of AAL5 encapsulation supported. It can be one of the following:

AAL5SNAP—This can be either routed RFC 1483 or bridged RFC 1483. For routed RFC 1483, the service provider must provide you with a static IP address. For bridged RFC 1483, you may use DHCP to obtain your IP address, or you may obtain a static IP address from your service provider.

AAL5MUX PPP—With this type of encapsulation, you need to determine the PPP-related configuration items.

•If you plan to connect over an ADSL or G.SHDSL line:

–Order the appropriate line from your public telephone service provider.

For ADSL lines—Ensure that the ADSL signaling type is DMT (also known as ANSI T1.413) or DMT Issue 2.

For G.SHDSL lines—Verify that the G.SHDSL line conforms to the ITU G.991.2 standard and supports Annex A (North America) or Annex B (Europe).

Once you have collected the appropriate information, you can perform a full configuration on your router, beginning with the tasks in the "Configuring Command-Line Access" section.

If you plan to connect voice equipment:

Configuring the Cellular Wireless WAN Interface

The Cisco 880 series ISRs provide a Third Generation (3G) wireless interface for use over Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and code division multiple access (CDMA) networks. The interface is a 34-mm PCMCIA slot.

Its primary application is WAN connectivity as a backup data link for critical data applications. However, the 3G wireless interface can also function as the router's primary WAN connection.

To configure the 3G cellular wireless interface, follow these guidelines and procedures:

•Prerequisites for Configuring the 3G Wireless Interface

•Restrictions for Configuring the Cellular Wireless Interface

•Data Account Provisioning

•Configuring a Cellular Interface

•Configuring DDR

•Examples for Configuring Cellular Wireless Interfaces

Prerequisites for Configuring the 3G Wireless Interface

The following are prerequisites to configuring the 3G wireless interface:

•You must have wireless service from a carrier, and you must have network coverage where your router will be physically placed. For a complete list of supported carriers, see the data sheet at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/routers/networking_solutions_products_genericcontent0900aecd80601f7e.html

•You must subscribe to a service plan with a wireless service provider and obtain a SIM card (GSM modem only) from the service provider.

•You must check your LEDs for signal strength as described in Table 3-2.

•You should be familiar with the Cisco IOS software, beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.4(15)XZ or later for Cisco 3G Wireless support. (See the Cisco IOS documentation.)

•To configure your GSM data profile, you will need the following information from your service provider:

–Username

–Password

–Access point name (APN)

•To configure your CDMA data profile for manual activation, you need the following information from your service provider:

–Master Subsidy Lock (MSL) number

–Mobile Directory number (MDN)

–Mobile Station Identifier (MSID)

–Electronic Serial Number (ESN)

Restrictions for Configuring the Cellular Wireless Interface

The following restrictions apply to configuring the Cisco 3G wireless interface:

•A data connection can be originated only by the 3G wireless interface. Remote dial-in is not supported.

•Because of the shared nature of wireless communications, the experienced throughput varies depending on the number of active users or the amount of congestion in a given network.

•Cellular networks have higher latency than wired networks. Latency rates depend on the technology and carrier. Latency may be higher when there is network congestion.

•VoIP is not currently supported.

•Any restrictions that are part of the terms of service from your carrier also apply to the Cisco 3G wireless interface.

•The Cisco 880G ISR does not support online insertion and removal (OIR) of 3G modems. To replace a modem with another modem of the same modem type, use the Cisco CLI to enter the shutdown command on the cellular interface before you replace the modems.

•When a 3G modem is removed, the show interface cellular 0, show run, and show version outputs will still display cellular interface related information. The show interface command wil display the message below, all other show commands will have empty outputs.
3G Modem not inserted
•You can configure the cellular interface when the 3G modem is removed. However, the configuration will not be effective until the 3Gmodem is inserted. The following message will be shown when trying to configure the cellular interface while modem is absent.
Router(config)#interface cellular 0
Warning: 3G Modem is not inserted 
Configuration will not be effective until modem is inserted 
•Inserting a modem of different type than was previously removed requires configuration changes and you must reload the system.

Data Account Provisioning

Note To provision your modem, you must have an active wireless account with a service provider. A SIM card must be installed in a GSM 3G wireless card.

To provision your data account, follow these procedures:

•Verifying Signal Strength and Service Availability

•Configuring a GSM Modem Data Profile

•CDMA Modem Activation and Provisioning

Verifying Signal Strength and Service Availability

To verify the signal strength and service availability on your modem, use the following commands in privileged EXEC mode.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. show cellular 0 network

Configuring a Cellular Interface

To configure the cellular interface, enter the following commands, beginning in privileged EXEC mode.

SUMMARY STEPS

1. configure terminal

2. interface cellular 0

3. encapsulation ppp

4. ppp chap hostname <host>

5. ppp chap password 0 <password>

6. asynchronous mode interactive

7. ip address negotiated

Note The PPP Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) authentication parameters that you use in this procedure must be the same as the username and password provided by your carrier and configured only under the GSM profile. CDMA does not require a username or password.

DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action

Purpose
Step 1
Router# configure terminal 
Example:

Router# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode from the terminal.
Step 2
Router(config)# interface cellular 0

Specifies the cellular interface.
Step 3
Router(config-if)# encapsulation ppp
Example:

Router (config-if)# encapsulation ppp
Specifies PPP encapsulation for an interface configured for dedicated asynchronous mode or dial-on-demand routing (DDR).
Step 4
Router(config-if)# ppp chap hostname <hostname>
Example:

Router (config-if)# ppp chap hostname cisco@wwan.ccs
Defines an interface-specific Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) hostname. This must match the username given by the carrier. Applies to GSM only.
Step 5
Router(config-if)# ppp chap password 0 <password>
Example:

Router (config-if)# ppp chap password 0 cisco
Defines an interface-specific CHAP password. This must match the password given by the carrier.
Step 6
Router(config-if)# asynchronous mode interactive
Example:

Step 7
Router(config-if)# ip address negotiated
Example:

Router (config-if)# ip address negotiated
Specifies that the IP address for a particular interface is obtained via PPP and IPCP address negotiation.
Note When the cellular interface requires a static IP address, the address may be configured as ip address negotiated. Through IP Control Protocol (IPCP), the network ensures that the correct static IP address is allocated to the device. If a tunnel interface is configured with ip address unnumbered <cellular interface>, the actual static IP address must be configured under the cellular interface, in place of ip address negotiated. For a sample cellular interface configuration, see the "Basic Cellular Interface Configuration" section.

Configuring the Fast Ethernet LAN Interfaces

The Fast Ethernet LAN interfaces on your router are automatically configured as part of the default VLAN and are not configured with individual addresses. Access is provided through the VLAN. You may assign the interfaces to other VLANs if you want. For more information about creating VLANs, see Chapter 6, "Configuring the Ethernet Switches."

Configuring the Wireless LAN Interface

The Cisco 860, Cisco 880, and Cisco 890 series wireless routers have an integrated 802.11n module for wireless LAN connectivity. The router can then act as an access point in the local infrastructure. For more information about configuring a wireless connection, see Chapter 8, "Basic Wireless Device Configuration."

Configuring a Loopback Interface

The loopback interface acts as a placeholder for the static IP address and provides default routing information.

To configure a loopback interface perform these steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
Command

Purpose
Step 1
interface type number

Example:
Router(config)# interface Loopback 0
Router(config-if)# 
Enters configuration mode for the loopback interface.
Step 2
ip address ip-address mask

Example:
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.108.1.1 
255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)# 
Sets the IP address and subnet mask for the loopback interface.
Step 3
exit

Example:
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)# 
Exits configuration mode for the loopback interface and returns to global configuration mode.
Example

The loopback interface in this sample configuration is used to support Network Address Translation (NAT) on the virtual-template interface. This configuration example shows the loopback interface configured on the Fast Ethernet interface with an IP address of 200.200.100.1/24, which acts as a static IP address. The loopback interface points back to virtual-template1, which has a negotiated IP address.
!
interface loopback 0
ip address 200.200.100.1 255.255.255.0 (static IP address)
ip nat outside
!
interface Virtual-Template1
ip unnumbered loopback0
no ip directed-broadcast
ip nat outside
!
Verifying Configuration

To verify that you have properly configured the loopback interface, enter the show interface loopback command. You should see verification output similar to the following example.
Router# show interface loopback 0
Loopback0 is up, line protocol is up 
  Hardware is Loopback
  Internet address is 200.200.100.1/24
  MTU 1514 bytes, BW 8000000 Kbit, DLY 5000 usec, 
     reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
  Encapsulation LOOPBACK, loopback not set
  Last input never, output never, output hang never
  Last clearing of "show interface" counters never
  Queueing strategy: fifo
  Output queue 0/0, 0 drops; input queue 0/75, 0 drops
  5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec
  5 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec
     0 packets input, 0 bytes, 0 no buffer
     Received 0 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles
     0 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 0 abort
     0 packets output, 0 bytes, 0 underruns
     0 output errors, 0 collisions, 0 interface resets
     0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out
Another way to verify the loopback interface is to ping it:
Router# ping 200.200.100.1 
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 200.200.100.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/4 ms
Configuring Static Routes

Static routes provide fixed routing paths through the network. They are manually configured on the router. If the network topology changes, the static route must be updated with a new route. Static routes are private routes unless they are redistributed by a routing protocol.

To configure static routes perform these steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
Command

Purpose
Step 1
ip route prefix mask {ip-address | interface-type interface-number [ip-address]}

Example:
Router(config)# ip route 192.168.1.0 
255.255.0.0 10.10.10.2
Router(config)# 
Specifies the static route for the IP packets.

For details about this command and about additional parameters that can be set, see the Cisco IOS IP Routing Protocols Command Reference.
Step 2
end

Example:
Router(config)# end
Router# 
Exits router configuration mode, and enters privileged EXEC mode.
For general information on static routing, see Appendix B, "Floating Static Routes."

Example

In the following configuration example, the static route sends out all IP packets with a destination IP address of 192.168.1.0 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 on the Fast Ethernet interface to another device with an IP address of 10.10.10.2. Specifically, the packets are sent to the configured PVC.

You do not need to enter the command marked "(default)." This command appears automatically in the configuration file generated when you use the show running-config command.
!
ip classless (default)
ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.2!
Verifying Configuration

To verify that you have properly configured static routing, enter the show ip route command and look for static routes signified by the "S."

You should see verification output similar to the following:
Router# show ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
       D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
       N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
       E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
       i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
       ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
       o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route
Gateway of last resort is not set
     10.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C       10.108.1.0 is directly connected, Loopback0
S* 0.0.0.0/0 is directly connected, FastEthernet0
Configuring Dynamic Routes

In dynamic routing, the network protocol adjusts the path automatically, based on network traffic or topology. Changes in dynamic routes are shared with other routers in the network.

The Cisco routers can use IP routing protocols, such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP) or Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), to learn routes dynamically. You can configure either of these routing protocols on your router.

•Configuring Routing Information Protocol

•Configuring Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol

Configuring Routing Information Protocol

To configure the RIP routing protocol on the router perform these steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
Command

Task
Step 1
router rip

Example:
Router> configure terminal
Router(config)# router rip
Router(config-router)# 
Enters router configuration mode, and enables RIP on the router.
Step 2
version {1 | 2}

Example:
Router(config-router)# version 2
Router(config-router)# 
Specifies use of RIP version 1 or 2.
Step 3
network ip-address

Example:
Router(config-router)# network 192.168.1.1
Router(config-router)# network 10.10.7.1
Router(config-router)# 
Specifies a list of networks on which RIP is to be applied, using the address of the network of each directly connected network.
Step 4
no auto-summary

Example:
Router(config-router)# no auto-summary
Router(config-router)# 
Disables automatic summarization of subnet routes into network-level routes. This allows subprefix routing information to pass across classful network boundaries.
Step 5
end

Example:
Router(config-router)# end
Router# 
Exits router configuration mode, and enters privileged EXEC mode.
For general information on RIP, see Appendix B, "RIP."

Example

The following configuration example shows RIP version 2 enabled in IP network 10.0.0.0 and 192.168.1.0.

To see this configuration, use the show running-config command from privileged EXEC mode.
!
Router# show running-config
router rip
 version 2
 network 10.0.0.0
 network 192.168.1.0
 no auto-summary
!
Verifying Configuration

To verify that you have properly configured RIP, enter the show ip route command and look for RIP routes signified by "R." You should see a verification output like the example shown below.
Router# show ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
       D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
       N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
       E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
       i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
       ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
       o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route
Gateway of last resort is not set
     10.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C       10.108.1.0 is directly connected, Loopback0
R    3.0.0.0/8 [120/1] via 2.2.2.1, 00:00:02, Ethernet0/0
Configuring Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol

To configure Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol GRP (EGRP) perform these steps, beginning in global configuration mode:
Command

Purpose
Step 1
router eigrp as-number

Example:
Router(config)# router eigrp 109
Router(config)# 
Enters router configuration mode, and enables EIGRP on the router. The autonomous-system number identifies the route to other EIGRP routers and is used to tag the EIGRP information.
Step 2
network ip-address

Example:
Router(config)# network 192.145.1.0
Router(config)# network 10.10.12.115
Router(config)# 
Specifies a list of networks on which EIGRP is to be applied, using the IP address of the network of directly connected networks.
Step 3
end

Example:
Router(config-router)# end
Router# 
Exits router configuration mode, and enters privileged EXEC mode.
For general information on EIGRP concepts, see Appendix B, "Enhanced IGRP."

Example

The following configuration example shows the EIGRP routing protocol enabled in IP networks 192.145.1.0 and 10.10.12.115. The EIGRP autonomous system number is 109.

To see this configuration use the show running-config command, beginning in privileged EXEC mode.
!
router eigrp 109
	network 192.145.1.0
		network 10.10.12.115
!
Verifying Configuration

To verify that you have properly configured IP EIGRP, enter the show ip route command, and look for EIGRP routes indicated by "D." You should see verification output similar to the following:
Router# show ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
       D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
       N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
       E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
       i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
       ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
