Step 1 Download the compressed file, cisco-config-pro-exp-admin-k9-3_4-en.zip from the following web link:

https://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?i=!y&mdfid=281795035&softwareid=282159854&release=3.5&os

The cisco-config-pro-exp-admin-k9-3_5-en.zip file contains these files: ccpexpressAdmin3_5_en.tar and ccpExpress_ap_express-security_en.shtml.gz.

Step 3 Using an FTP or TFTP server, copy the extracted files onto the router’s flash memory.

router> enable
Password: password
router# copy tftp: flash

Step 4 Specify the IP address of the FTP or TFTP server, as shown in this example:

Address or name of remote host []? <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the FTP or TFTP server.

Step 5 Specify the name of the source file that is to be copied onto the router’s flash memory, as shown in this example:

Source filename []? ccpexpressAdmin_3_5_en.tar
 

Step 6 Specify the name of the destination file, as shown in this example:

Destination file name []? ccpexpressAdmin_3_5_en.tar

Step 7 Extract the ccpexpressAdmin31.tar file onto the router’s flash memory, as shown in this example:

router# archive tar /xtract flash:ccpexpressAdmin_3_5_en.tar flash:/
 

Step 8 If the router supports a wireless configuration, configure it, thus:

a. Telnet to the WAP of the router, as shown in this example:

ap#> enable
Password: password
 

b. Verify that the ccpExpress_ap_express-security_en.shtml.gz file already exists on the “ap-801-” or “ap802-” folder of the wireless flash memory, as shown in this example:

ap# cd ap802-xxxxx-xx.xxx-xxx.xxx/html/level/15/
ap# dir

Note By default, the ccpExpress_ap_express-security_en.shtml.gz file is available on some versions of the IOS AP.

c. If the ccpExpress_ap_express-security_en.shtml.gz file is not available on the wireless flash memory, proceed to step d. Otherwise proceed to step 9.

d. Copy the ccpExpress_ap_express-security_en.shtml.gz file to the wireless flash, as shown in this example:

ap# copy tftp: flash

Note Ensure that you copy the ccpExpress_ap_express-security_en.shtml.gz file to that folder with a name beginning with the prefix “ap-801-” or “ap802-”, and ensure that this folder contains the html/level/15/ sub-directories under it.

e. Specify the IP address of the FTP or TFTP server, as shown in this example:

Address or name of remote host []? <xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of the FTP or TFTP server.

f. Specify the name of the source file that is to be copied onto the router’s flash memory, as shown in this example:

Source filename []? ccpExpress_ap_express-security_en.shtml.gz
 

g. Specify the name of the destination file, as shown in this example:

Destination file name []? ccpExpress_ap_express-security_en.shtml.gz

Step 9 After the installation is complete, delete the ccpexpressAdmin_3_4_en.tar file from the flash memory of the router, as shown in this example:

Using Cisco CP Express Admin View

This section contains the following:

Prerequisites

Before you launch the Cisco CP Express Admin View, gather the following information from your service provider:

  • Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) and Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) values if you use Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) as a Wide Area Network (WAN)
  • Username and password to access the Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) or Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) if you use ADSL as a WAN
  • (Optional) Primary and secondary DNS IP addresses
  • IP subnet
  • DHCP pool network

Enabling HTTP Server or Secure Server

Cisco CP Express can be accessed in one of these two modes:

  • Secure mode—Uses HTTPS and requires HTTP Secure Server to be enabled on the router.
  • Non-Secure mode—Uses HTTP and requires HTTP Server to be enabled on the router.

Note By default, the HTTP and secure server are enabled for factory fresh routers.

You must enable HTTP or HTTPS before launching the Cisco CP Express.

The login to the http service must point to the local database on the router, because the Cisco CP Express End User View is configured locally on the router.

1. To configure the router as an http server, execute this command:

router(config)# ip http server

 

2. To configure the router as an https server, execute this command:

router(config)# ip http secure-server
