Initial Configuration Procedures

This section describes how to prepare the Cisco IAD2430 IAD series IAD to perform basic communication functions. You may initially configure your router by using the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) or by using the setup command facility. To create the initial configuration, the setup command facility prompts you for basic information about your router and network.

Note If you ordered your Cisco IAD2430 series IAD with the Simple Network-Enabled Auto-Provision (SNAP) option, no on-site configuration is required. If the Cisco IAD is connected to the WAN, the SNAP application downloads and installs the applicable files, and configures the Cisco IAD automatically. No additional configuration should be required. For additional information about SNAP, see the Simple Network-Enabled Auto-Provisioning for Cisco 2420 Series IADs feature module at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122newft/122t/122t8/ftapiad8.htm

Step 5 To change the username and password, enter the following at the prompt:

username username privilege 15 secret 0 password

Username and password are the username and password that you wish to use.

Note Use the copy running-config startup-config command at the privileged EXEC mode prompt (Router#) to save the configuration to NVRAM.

Verify the initial configuration. See the "Verifying and Saving Your Configuration" section.

Setup Command Facility

The setup command facility guides you through the configuration process by prompting you for the specific information that is needed to configure your system. Use the setup command facility to configure a hostname for the router, to set passwords, and to configure an interface for communication with the management network.

To use the setup command facility, you will need to set up a console connection with the router and enter the privileged EXEC mode.

To configure the initial router settings by using the setup command facility, follow these steps:

Step 1 Set up a console connection to your router, and enter privileged EXEC mode. For instructions on how to enter privileged EXEC mode see Step 1 through Step 4 in the "Cisco IOS CLI" section.

Step 2 In privileged EXEC mode, at the prompt, enter setup.
yourname# setup
The following message is displayed:
--- System Configuration Dialog ---
Continue with configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
You are now in the setup command facility.

The prompts in the setup command facility vary, depending on your router model, on the installed interface modules, and on the software image. The following steps and the user entries (in bold) are shown as examples only.

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 at the privileged EXEC mode prompt (Router#).
