This chapter guides you through a basic router configuration, which is sufficient for you to access your network. Complex configuration procedures are beyond the scope of this publication and can be found in the modular configuration and modular command reference publications in the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation set that corresponds to the software release installed on your Cisco hardware.
To configure a Cisco 7301 router from a console, you need to connect a terminal to the router console port.
Functional Overview
This section provides a functional overview of the Cisco 7301 router. It describes the numbering and addressing scheme of the port adapter for the router, the environmental monitoring and reporting functions, and online insertion and removal (OIR). These descriptions help you become familiar with the capabilities of the Cisco 7301 router.
Chassis Slot and Logical Interface Numbering
In the Cisco 7301 router, the port-adapter-slot-number is the chassis slot in which a port adapter is installed, whereas the logical-interface-number is the physical location of the interface port on a port adapter.
The port adapter slot in the Cisco 7301 router is numbered slot 1. Port adapter slot 0 is always reserved for logical ports 10/100/1000.
The Media Access Control (MAC) or hardware address is a standardized data link layer address that is required for certain network interface types. These addresses are not used by other devices in the network; they are specific and unique to each port. The Cisco 7301 router uses a specific method to assign and control the MAC addresses of its port adapters. For a description of the MAC address, see the "MAC Address" section.
You can identify port adapter slots by using software commands. To display information about all port adapter slots, use the show interfaces command. To display information about a specific port adapter slot, use the show interfaces command with the port adapter type and slot number in the format show interfaces port-adapter-type slot-number/port-number. If you abbreviate the command (sh int) and do not specify port adapter type and slot number (or arguments), the system interprets the command as show interfaces and displays the status of all port adapters and ports.
The following example shows how the show interfaces command, used without arguments, displays status information (including the physical port adapter number) for the port adapter in a Cisco 7301 router.
In the following example, most of the status information for each interface is omitted.

For complete descriptions and instructions of the commands used to configure your Cisco 7301 router, refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide and Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference publications at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/tsd_products_support_category_home.html
MAC Address
All LAN interfaces (ports) require unique MAC addresses, also known as hardware addresses. Typically, the MAC address of an interface is stored on a memory component that resides directly on the interface circuitry; however, the OIR feature requires a different method. (For a description of OIR, see the "Online Insertion and Removal" section.)
Using OIR, you can remove a port adapter and replace it with another identically configured one. If the new port adapter matches the port adapter you removed, the system immediately brings it online. In order to enable OIR, an address allocator with unique MAC addresses is stored in an EEPROM on the system board. Each address is reserved for a specific port and slot in the router regardless of whether a port adapter resides in that slot. The MAC address for the port adapter slot in the Cisco 7301 is slot 0. You can remove a port adapter and insert it into another router without causing the MAC addresses to move around the network or be assigned to multiple devices.
Note that if the MAC addresses were stored on each port adapter, OIR would not function because you could never replace one port adapter with an identical one; the MAC addresses would always be different. Also, each time a port adapter was replaced, other devices on the network would have to update their data structures with the new address. If the other devices did not update quickly enough, the same MAC address could appear in more than one device at the same time.
Note Storing the MAC addresses for every slot in one central location means the addresses stay with the memory device on which they are stored.
Online Insertion and Removal
All port adapters and service adapters in the Cisco 7301 routers support online insertion and removal (OIR). However, it is wise to shut down the interface before removing a port adapter that has active traffic moving through it. Removing a port adapter while traffic is flowing through the ports can cause system disruption. Once the port adapter is inserted, the ports can be brought back up.
Note As you disengage the port adapter from the router or switch, online insertion and removal (OIR) administratively shuts down all active interfaces in the port adapter.
OIR allows you to install and replace port adapters and service adapters while the router is operating; you do not need to notify the software or shut down the system power, although you should not run traffic through the port adapter you are removing while it is being removed. OIR is a method that is seamless to end users on the network, maintains all routing information, and preserves sessions.
The following is a functional description of OIR for background information only; for specific procedures for installing and replacing a port adapter or service adapter in a Cisco 7301 router, refer to the online configuration note for each port adapter or service adapter.
Each port adapter or service adapter has a bus connector that connects it to the router. The connector has a set of tiered pins in three lengths that send specific signals to the system as they make contact with the port adapter or service adapter. The system assesses the signals it receives and the order in which it receives them to determine if a port adapter or service adapter is being removed or inserted into the system. From these signals, the system determines whether to reinitialize a new interface or shut down a removed interface.
For example, when you insert a port adapter or service adapter, the longest pins make contact with the port adapter or service adapter first, and the shortest pins make contact last. The system recognizes the signals and the sequence in which it receives them.
When you remove or insert a port adapter or service adapter in a Cisco 7301 router, the pins send signals to notify the system, which then performs as follows:
1. Rapidly scans the system for configuration changes.
2. Initializes all newly inserted port adapters or service adapters, noting any removed interfaces and placing them in the administratively shutdown state.
3. Brings all previously configured interfaces on the port adapter back to the state they were in when they were removed. Any newly inserted interface is put in the administratively shutdown state, as if it was present (but not configured) at boot time. If a similar port adapter type is reinserted into a slot, its ports are configured and brought online up to the port count of the original port adapter. (A service adapter has no configurable ports.)
Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Functions
Environmental monitoring and reporting functions allow you to maintain normal system operation by identifying and resolving adverse conditions prior to loss of operation. The environmental monitoring functions constantly monitor the internal chassis air temperature and DC supply voltages and currents. If conditions reach shutdown thresholds, the system shuts down to avoid equipment damage from excessive heat. The reporting functions periodically log the values of measured parameters so that you can retrieve them for analysis later, and the reporting functions display warnings on the console if any of the monitored parameters exceed defined thresholds.
Environmental Monitoring
The environmental monitoring functions use two sensors, Sensor 1 (U62) on the underneath front edge of the system board, and Sensor 2 (U5), near the fans. If the air temperature exceeds a defined threshold, the system controller displays warning messages on the console terminal, and if the temperature exceeds the shutdown threshold, the system controller shuts down the system. The system stores the present parameter measurements for both temperature and DC voltage in NVRAM so you can retrieve them later as a report of the last shutdown parameters.
If an internal power supply temperature or voltage reaches a critical level, the power supply shuts down without any interaction with the system processor.
The environmental monitoring functions use the following levels of status conditions to monitor the system:
•Normal—All monitored parameters are within normal tolerances.
•Warning—The system has exceeded a specified threshold. The system continues to operate, but operator action is recommended to bring the system back to a normal state.
•Critical—An out-of-tolerance temperature or voltage condition exists. The system continues to operate; however, the system is approaching shutdown. Immediate operator action is required.
•Shutdown—The processor has detected a temperature condition that could result in physical damage to system components and has disabled DC power to all internal components. This condition requires immediate operator action. All DC power remains disabled until you toggle the power switch. Before any shutdown, the system logs the status of monitored parameters in NVRAM so you can retrieve it later to help determine the cause of the problem.
•Power supply shutdown—The power supply detected an internal out-of-tolerance overvoltage, overcurrent, or temperature condition and shut itself down. All DC power remains disabled until you toggle the power switch.
Table 3-1 lists the typical temperature thresholds for the Cisco 7301 router, and Table 3-2 lists the DC power thresholds for the normal, warning, and critical (power supply-monitored) levels.
Note Table 3-2 shows output from the show environment table command.
Reporting Functions
The Cisco 7301 router displays warning messages on the console if chassis interface-monitored parameters exceed a desired threshold. You can also retrieve and display environmental status reports with the show environment, show environment all, show environment last, and show environment table commands. Parameters are measured and reporting functions are updated every
60 seconds. A brief description of each of these commands follows.
To prevent overheating the chassis, ensure that your system is drawing cool inlet air. Overtemperature conditions can occur if the system is drawing in the exhaust air of other equipment. Ensure adequate clearance around the sides of the chassis so that cooling air can flow through the chassis interior unimpeded and exhaust air exits the chassis and is not drawn into the inlet vent of another device.
The show environment command displays reports of the current environmental system status. The report displays parameters that are out of the normal values. No parameters are displayed if the system status is normal. The example that follows shows the display for a system in which all monitored parameters are within normal range:
Router# show environment
All measured values are normal
If the environmental status is not normal, the system reports the worst-case status level. Following is a sample overvoltage warning:
Router# show environment
Warning:+3.45 V measured at +3.27 V
The show environment last command retrieves and displays the NVRAM log, which shows the reason for the last system shutdown (if the shutdown was related to voltage or temperature) and the environmental status at that time. Air temperature is measured and displayed, and the DC voltage supplied by the power supply is also displayed.
Following is sample output of the show environment last command:
Router# show environment last
chassis inlet previously measured at 30C/86F
chassis outlet 1 previously measured at 28C/82F
chassis outlet 2 previously measured at -1C/31F
chassis outlet 3 previously measured at -1C/31F
+3.45 V previously measured at +3.27
+5.15 V previously measured at +5.01
+12.15 V previously measured at +12.34
-11.95 V previously measured at -12.41
last shutdown reason - power supply shutdown
The show environment table command displays the temperature and voltage thresholds for each temperature sensor and for each monitored status level. These thresholds are related to those listed in Table 3-1 and Table 3-2. The display also lists the shutdown threshold for the system.
Following is sample output of the show environment table command for a Cisco 7301 router:
Router# show environment table

System shutdown for Thermal Sensor 1 is 55C/131F
System shutdown for Thermal Sensor 2 is 60C/140F
Note Temperature ranges and values are subject to change.
The show environment all command displays an extended report that includes temperature readings and voltage readings. The show environment all command also displays a report showing which power supply slots are occupied and which are empty.
Following is sample output of the show environment all command.

Fan Failures
When the system power is on, all five fans should be operational. The system continues to operate if a fan fails. When a fan fails, the system displays the following message:
router: 00:03:46:%ENVM-3-BLOWER:Fan 2 may have failed
If the air temperature exceeds a defined threshold, the system controller displays warning messages on the console terminal, and if the temperature exceeds the shutdown threshold, the system controller shuts down the system.
If the system does shut down because the temperature exceeded the shutdown threshold, the system displays the following message on the console screen and in the environment display when the system restarts:
Queued messages:
%ENVM-1-SHUTDOWN: Environmental Monitor initiated shutdown
For complete descriptions and instructions for the environmental monitor commands, refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide and Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference publications, which are available online.
Checking Conditions Prior to System Startup
Check the following conditions before you start your router:
•The port adapter is inserted in its slot and the port adapter latch is in the locked position.
•The network interface cable is connected to the port adapter.
•A CompactFlash Disk is installed.
•The console terminal is turned on.
You are now ready to start your router. Proceed to the section "Starting the System and Observing Initial Conditions."
Starting the System and Observing Initial Conditions
After installing your Cisco 7301 router and connecting cables, start the router as follows:
Step 1 At the front of the router, place the power switch on the power supply in the on (|) position.
Step 2 Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating.
Step 3 During the boot process, observe the system LEDs. The LEDs on the port adapter go on and off in irregular sequence. They may go on, go out, and go on again for a short time. On the router, the green STATUS LED comes on and stays on.
Step 4 Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (a few seconds), the processor begins to initialize the port adapter and the I/O subsystem. During this initialization, the LEDs on the port adapter probably will flash on and off.
The enabled LED on the port adapter goes on when initialization is completed, and the console screen displays a script and system banner similar to the following:

Step 5 When you start up the router for the first time, the system automatically enters the setup facility, which determines which port adapter is installed and prompts you for configuration information. On the console terminal, after the system displays the system banner and hardware configuration, you will see the following System Configuration Dialog prompt:
--- System Configuration Dialog ---
At any point you may enter a questions mark `?' for help.
Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt.
Default settings are in square brackets `[]'.
continue with configuration dialog? [yes]:
You have the option of proceeding with the setup facility to configure the interfaces, or exiting from setup and using configuration commands to configure global (system-wide) and interface-specific parameters. 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.
Many of the port adapter LEDs do not go on until you have configured the interfaces. To verify correct operation of each interface, complete the first-time startup procedures and configuration, and then refer to the configuration note for the port adapter for LED descriptions and to check the status of the interfaces.
If the system does not complete each of the steps in the startup procedure, proceed to Chapter 5, "Troubleshooting Initial Startup Problems" for troubleshooting recommendations and procedures.
Configuring a Cisco 7301 Router
Before configuring the router, determine whether or not you want to use a management tool such as Cisco Security Device Manager.
Cisco Security Device Manager (SDM), version 1.1, is an optional Java-based device-management tool that allows you to configure LAN interfaces, routing, Network Address Translation (NAT), firewalls, Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), and other features without knowledge of the Cisco command-line interface (CLI). You can configure features such as Access Control Lists (ACLs), routing protocols, and other options using the advanced mode SDM.
Note You will need to use CLI commands to configure several features that SDM does not support. SDM does not support the following features: WAN configuration, Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interfaces, AA client, EZ VPN server, QoS, SSHv2, DHCP server configuration options, and usability enhancements.
SDM is preinstalled on your router's flash disk or compactflash disk when it is ordered as part of a VPN bundle or as part of a 7xxx VPN bundle. If your router did not ship with SDM preinstalled, you can download a free copy from the Software Center at Cisco.com at http://ww.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/index.shtm. Because SDM uses a GUI, it requires that you access it from a PC using a supported web browser. Go to the Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) User Guide for the Cisco 7200 VXR and Cisco 7301 Routers documentation for more information.
You can configure your Cisco 7301 router using one of the procedures described in the following sections:
•Performing a Basic Configuration Using AutoInstall
•Performing a Basic Configuration Using the Setup Facility
•Performing a Basic Configuration Using Global Configuration Mode
Follow the procedure that best fits the needs of your network configuration.
Note You need to acquire the correct network addresses from your system administrator or consult your network plan to determine correct addresses before you can complete the router configuration.
Before continuing the configuration process, check the current state of the router by entering the show version command. The show version command displays the release of Cisco IOS software that is available on the router. Sample output of the show version command appears in the "Viewing Your System Configuration" section.
Performing a Basic Configuration Using AutoInstall
The AutoInstall process is designed to configure the Cisco 7301 router automatically after connection to your WAN. For AutoInstall to work properly, a TCP/IP host on your network must be preconfigured to provide the required configuration files. The TCP/IP host may exist anywhere on the network as long as the following two conditions are maintained:
1. The host must be on the remote side of the router synchronous serial connection to the WAN.
2. User Datagram Protocol (UDP) broadcasts to and from the router and the TCP/IP host are enabled.
This functionality is coordinated by your system administrator at the site where the TCP/IP host is located. You should not use AutoInstall unless the required files are available on the TCP/IP host. Refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide and Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference publications for information about how AutoInstall works.
Complete the following steps to prepare your Cisco 7301 router for the AutoInstall process:
Step 1 Attach the appropriate synchronous serial cable to synchronous serial interface 0 on the router.
Step 2 Turn the power switch on the power supply to the on (|) position. (This action turns on AC power to the router.)
The router loads the operating system image from Flash memory. If the remote end of the WAN connection is connected and properly configured, the AutoInstall process begins.
Once the AutoInstall process is completed, use the copy running-config startup-config command to write the configuration data to the router's nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM). Perform the following step to complete this task.
Step 3 At the # prompt, enter the following command:
Hostname# copy running-config startup-config
Note Completing Step 3 saves the configuration settings that the AutoInstall process created to NVRAM. If you fail to do this, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the router.
Performing a Basic Configuration Using the Setup Facility
If you do not plan to use AutoInstall, do not connect the router's serial (WAN) cable to the channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU). If the WAN cable is not connected, the router boots from Flash memory and goes automatically into the setup facility.
Note You can run the setup facility any time you are at the enable prompt (#) by entering the setup command.
If the serial (WAN) cable is connected to the CSU/DSU and the router does not have a configuration stored in NVRAM, the router attempts to run AutoInstall at startup. The router may take several minutes to determine that AutoInstall is not set up to a remote TCP/IP host. Once the router determines that AutoInstall is not configured, it defaults to the setup facility.
Configuring Global Parameters
When you first start the setup program, you must configure the global parameters. These parameters are used for controlling system-wide settings. Complete the following steps to enter the global parameters:
Step 1 Connect a console terminal to the console port, and then boot the router.
The system boots from flash memory. The following information appears after about 30 seconds. When you see this information, you have successfully booted your router:

Step 9 Save your settings to NVRAM. (See the "Saving the Running Configuration to NVRAM" section.) If you do not save the configuration settings that you created in the router using configuration mode and the setup facility, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the router.
Configuring the Native Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces
The Cisco 7301 router reports the Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 and SFP GBIC ports as GigabitEthernet 0/0, GigabitEthernet 0/1, and GigabitEthernet0/2. Before configuring any of the three interfaces, you must first use the media-type interface command to select the media type, either gbic or rj45.
Changing the Media Type
To be able to use a particular media type, use Cisco IOS to select the media type. This is done by using the media-type interface command:
media-type { gbic | rj45 }
Example:
interface GigabitEthernet 0/0
media-type rj45
end
Configuring the Interface Transmission and Speed Modes
Step 1 After changing the media type, configure the speed and duplex transmission modes to appropriately match the new interface characteristics. Changing the speed and duplex of a Cisco 7301 router Gigabit Ethernet interface is done using the speed and duplex interface commands.
Note These commands are only applicable when using the RJ-45 media.
speed { 10 | 100 | 1000 | auto }
duplex { full | half | auto }
The following speed/duplex settings are supported:
Media Type Speed Duplex
-------------------------------------------------------------
RJ45 10, 100, 1000, auto full, half, auto
GBIC(1) 1000, auto(2) full, half, auto
-------------------------------------------------------------
a. If you are using the no negotion auto command, the speed and duplex should be set to a value other than auto for correct operation.
b. The only available speed in this mode is 1000 Mbps; there is no difference whether 1000 or auto is selected.
When using the SFP GBIC media, there is also the additional negotiation auto command that is used to enable the IEEE 802.1z Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) autonegotiation protocol.
Step 2 To turn this autonegotiation feature off (it is on by default), issue the interface command no negotiation auto. This is useful for connecting to other Gigabit Ethernet equipment that does not support
IEEE 802.1z autonegotiation.
Note The negotiation auto feature is not supported when using the media type rj-45 and will be ignored if implementation is attempted.
The media-type gbic mode will always default to 1000-Mbps, full-duplex operation as this is the only configuration that is supported in this mode. Any speed or duplex commands are ignored while using this media-type mode, even if present in the configuration (for an example, see output from show running-config).
Debugging
Cisco IOS provides two commands to provide information on your interfaces: show interface GigabitEthernet 0/X (where X is 0, 1, or 2) and show controllers GigabitEthernet 0/X (where X is 0, 1, or 2).
The output of the show interface command is useful for determining the current operating mode of the interface (speed/duplex/media-type) and the current interface statistics.
The output of the show controller command displays more information specific to the Cisco 7301 router Gigabit Ethernet interface. For example, it shows the detected link status, speed, and duplex, and also determines the current status of autonegotiation and the link partners' abilities (if it is an autonegotiation-capable interface).
The show controller command also displays the current operating state of the driver and the Ethernet controller hardware. The show controller command is a very powerful debugging aid, especially for Cisco engineers should you need help in debugging a problem. If you have any problems with your Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, you will need to provide this information to Cisco for analysis.
Resetting the Interface
Should you have a problem with your interface and you want to try and reset it, use the command:
clear interface GigabitEthernet 0/X (where X is 0, 1, or 2)
Clearing Counters
Interface counters may be cleared (reset) by using the command:
clear counters GigabitEthernet 0/X (where X is 0, 1, or 2)
Note Using this command will not reset the interface.
Configuring Port Adapter Interfaces
Following are the steps for configuring interfaces to allow communication over a LAN or WAN. To configure the interface parameters, you need your interface network addresses and subnet mask information. Consult with your network administrator for this information.
Note Only one port adapter can be installed in the Cisco 7301 at one time. Following are three examples of three different interfaces that might be used.
Configuring ATM Interfaces
In the following example, an ATM interface in slot 1 is configured for an ATM LAN using IP. Follow these steps to configure an ATM interface:
Step 1 Using your own addresses and mask at the setup prompts, respond to the prompts as follows:

Use the enabled mode `configure' command to modify this configuration.
Press RETURN to get started!
Your router is now minimally configured and ready to use. You can use the setup command if you want to modify the parameters after the initial configuration. To perform more complex configurations, use the configure command.
For information on additional interface configuration and specific system configurations, refer to the modular configuration and modular command reference publications in the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation set that corresponds to the software release installed on your Cisco hardware.
Performing a Basic Configuration Using Global Configuration Mode
You can configure a Cisco 7301 router manually if you prefer not to use the setup facility or AutoInstall. Complete the following steps to configure the router manually:
Step 1 Connect a console terminal to the console port.
Step 2 When asked if you want to enter the initial dialog, answer no to go into the normal operating mode of the router:
Would you like to enter the initial dialog? [yes]: no
Step 3 After a few seconds the user EXEC prompt (Router>) is displayed. Type enable to enter enable mode (configuration changes can only be made in enable mode):
Router> enable
The prompt changes to the privileged EXEC prompt:
Router#
Step 4 Enter the config terminal command at the enable prompt to enter configuration mode from the terminal:
Router# config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
At the Router(config)# prompt, enter the interface type slot/port command to enter the interface configuration mode:
Router(config)# interface serial slot/port
Router(config-int)#
In either configuration mode, you can now enter any changes to the configuration. Press Ctrl-Z (hold down the Control key while you press Z) or enter end to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter.
Step 5 Save your settings to NVRAM, or if you are enabling the second processor, see "Enabling the Second Processor" section. (See the "Saving the Running Configuration to NVRAM" section.) If you do not save the configuration settings that you created in the router using configuration mode and the setup facility, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the router.
Your router is now minimally configured and will boot with the configuration you have entered. To see a list of the configuration commands available to you, enter ? at the prompt while in configuration mode.
Enabling the Second Processor
The Cisco 7301 includes a dual-CPU-core BCM 1250. All Cisco IOS images for the Cisco 7301 platform use CPU-core 0. CPU-core 1 allows acceleration of specific feature sets via separately purchased special software. As of Cisco IOS Release 12.3(14)YM, multi-processor forwarding (MPF) accelerates the following broadband features: L2TP Access Concentrator (LAC), L2TP Network Server (LNS), and PPP Terminated Aggregation (PTA). Port adapters are not supported in the multi-processor forwarding (MPF) path on processor 1.
Only the following port adapters are supported in the punt path (Processor 0, processing Cisco IOS) on Cisco IOS Release 12.3(14)YM and later releases of Cisco IOS Release 12.3YM:
•PA-A3-OC3 (SMI/SML/MM)
•PA-A3-T3
•PA-A3-E3
•PA-A6-OC3 (SMI/SML/MM)
•PA-A6-T3
•PA-A6-E3
•PA-FE-TX
•PA-2FE-TX
•PA-2FE-FX
You may have purchased the enabling software when you purchased a new chassis or you may have purchased the software as an upgrade.
If you are purchasing the software as an upgrade, you must:
•Upgrade the ROMmon if you do not have the minimum ROMmon version.
–The minimum ROMmon version is 12.3-4r.T2.
–The recommended ROMmon version is 12.3-4r.T4 or higher.
•Install the enabling software.
Instructions for upgrading ROMmon are in the "Upgrading ROMmon on the Cisco 7301" section.
The software releases associated with enabling the second processor are listed in Table 3-3.
Also see the Multi-Processor Forwarding (MPF) for Broadband LAC document for minimum memory requirements and configuration information.
Note Before enabling the second processor, you must have IP routing turned on.
Processor 1 is enabled by default after you install the enabling software. To have all packets forwarded by processor 0, use the no ip mpf command. To enable processor 1, use the ip mpf command.
hostname: (config)# [no] ip mpf
Save the running configuration to NVRAM. See the "Saving the Running Configuration to NVRAM" section. If you do not save the configuration settings that you created in the router using configuration mode and the setup facility, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the router.
Error Messages
The following error messages are displayed if a feature is configured that is not supported in the MPF path:
Router# %MPF-4-IGNOREDFEATURES: Interface Gi0/3: Input "PBR" configurations are not MPF

Saving the Running Configuration to NVRAM
To store the configuration or changes to your startup configuration in NVRAM, enter the copy running-config startup-config command at the Router# prompt:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Using this command saves the configuration settings that you created in the router using configuration mode and the setup facility. If you fail to do this, your configuration will be lost the next time you reload the router.
Checking the Running Configuration Settings
To check the value of the settings you have entered, enter the show running-config command at the Router# prompt:
Router# show running-config
To review changes you make to the configuration, use the EXEC mode show startup-config command to display the information stored in NVRAM.
Performing Other Configuration Tasks
To make advanced configuration changes after you establish the basic startup configuration for your router, refer to the modular configuration and modular command reference publications in the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation set that corresponds to the software release installed on your Cisco hardware. These publications contain additional information on using the configure command.
The configuration publications also provide information about the following tasks:
•Understanding and working with the user interface on your router
•Booting and rebooting the router
•Setting the configuration register
•Loading configuration files or system images using remote copy protocol (rcp) or Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
•Reloading the operating system
Upgrading ROMmon on the Cisco 7301
Upgrading the rewriteable ROM monitor (ROMmon) allows you to download a new ROMmon image instead of having to replace hardware (Cisco 7301) to get a new image.
There are two ROMmon images: the ReadOnly image that ships with your system (and is always available if you have Cisco 7301 hardware EPROM Version 1.4 and software C7301:Rommon version is 12.3(4r)T2 or later), and the upgradable ROMmon image that is downloaded from a specified TFTP file location. You can choose to configure the system to point to the upgradable ROMmon image. At bootup, the system starts with the ReadOnly image and then, if configured, jumps to the upgradeable ROMmon image. If the upgradeable ROMmon image fails to boot, the router will mark this ROMmon image as invalid and reverts to the ReadOnly ROMmon image.
The first time a new ROMmon image is executed, you must allow the system to boot ROMmon before doing any additional resets or power cycling. If the ROMmon-executing process is interrupted, the system interprets this as a bootup failure of the new ROMmon image. The router reverts to the ReadOnly image.
Note The ROMmon upgradeable image is marked as invalid if it fails to boot. Do not reset the router when it is doing an initial bootup.
Using the show rom-monitor Command and showmon Commands
Use the show rom-monitor command if you are in Cisco IOS, or the showmon command if you are in ROMmon, to determine which ROMmon images are available. See the following examples for information shown in the output of the show rom-monitor or showmon commands:
•If you are in Cisco IOS, use the show rom-monitor command:

Changing Preferences to Choose the Other ROMmon Image
To use the other ROMmon image, use one of the following commands to make the change depending on whether you are in Cisco IOS or in ROMmon:
•In Cisco IOS, use the upgrade rom-monitor preference command to change to the other ROMmon image:
upgrade rom-monitor preference [readonly | upgrade]
Example:
Router: upgrade rom-monitor preference readonly
You are about to mark ReadOnly region of ROMMON for the highest boot preference.
Proceed? [confirm]
Done! Router must be reloaded for this to take effect.
•In ROMmon, use the ROMmon CLI rommon-pref command to change to the other ROMmon image:
rommon-pref [readonly|upgrade]
Example:
rommon 2 > rommon-pref readonly

Replacing or Recovering a Lost Password
This section describes how to recover a lost enable or console login password, and how to replace a lost enable secret password on your Cisco 7301 router.
Note It is possible to recover the enable or console login password. The enable secret password is encrypted, however, and must be replaced with a new enable secret password.
Overview of the Password Recovery Procedure
Following is an overview of the steps in the password recovery procedure:
Step 1 If you can log in to the router, enter the show version command to determine the existing configuration register value.
Step 2 Press the Break key to get to the bootstrap program prompt (ROM monitor). You might need to reload the system image by power cycling the router.
Step 3 Change the configuration register so the following functions are enabled:
a. Break
b. Ignore startup configuration
c. Boot from Flash memory
Note The key to recovering a lost password is to set the configuration register bit 6 (0x0040) so that the startup configuration (usually in NVRAM) is ignored. This allows you to log in without using a password and to display the startup configuration passwords.
Note When powering off the router, wait 30 seconds before powering it on again.
Step 4 Power cycle the router by turning power off and then back on.
Step 5 Log in to the router and enter the privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6 Enter the show startup-config command to display the passwords.
Step 7 Recover or replace the displayed passwords.
Step 8 Change the configuration register back to its original setting.
Note To recover a lost password if the Break function is disabled on the router, you must have physical access to the router.
Details of the Password Recovery Procedure
Complete the following steps to recover or replace a lost enable, enable secret, or console login password:
Step 1 Attach an ASCII terminal to the console port on your router.
Step 2 Configure the terminal to operate at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit (9600 8N1).
Step 3 If you can log in to the router as a nonprivileged user, enter the show version command to display the existing configuration register value. Note the value for use later and proceed to Step 6. If you cannot log in to the router at all, go to the next step.
Step 4 Press the Break key or send a Break from the console terminal. If Break is enabled, the router enters the ROM monitor, indicated by the ROM monitor prompt (rommon1>). Proceed to Step 6. If Break is disabled, power cycle the router (turn the router off or unplug the power cord, and then restore power after waiting 30 seconds). Then proceed to Step 5.
Step 5 Within 60 seconds of restoring the power to the router, press the Break key or send a Break. This action causes the router to enter the ROM monitor and display the ROM monitor prompt (rommon1>).
Step 6 Set the configuration register using the configuration register utility; enter the confreg command at the ROM monitor prompt as follows:
rommon1> confreg
Step 7 Answer yes to the enable "ignore system config info?" question, and note the current configuration register settings.
Step 8 Initialize the router by entering the reset command as follows:
rommon2> reset
The router initializes, the configuration register is set to 0x142, and the router boots the system image from Flash memory and enters the System Configuration Dialog prompt as follows:
--- System Configuration Dialog --
Step 9 Enter no in response to the System Configuration Dialog prompts until the following message is displayed:
Press RETURN to get started!
Step 10 Press Return. The user EXEC prompt is displayed as follows:
Router>
Step 11 Enter the enable command to enter privileged EXEC mode. Then enter the show startup-config command to display the passwords in the configuration file as follows:
Router# show startup-config
Step 12 Scan the configuration file display looking for the passwords (the enable passwords are usually near the beginning of the file, and the console login or user EXEC password is near the end). The passwords displayed look something like this:
enable secret 5 $1$ORPP$s9syZt4uKn3SnpuLDrhuei
enable password 23skiddoo
.
.
line con 0
password onramp
The enable secret password is encrypted and cannot be recovered; it must be replaced. The enable and console login passwords may be encrypted or clear text. Proceed to the next step to replace an enable secret, console login, or enable password. If there is no enable secret password, note the enable and console login passwords, if they are not encrypted, and proceed to Step 17.
Do not execute the next step unless you have determined you must change or replace the enable, enable secret, or console login passwords. Failure to follow the steps as shown might cause you to erase your router configuration.
Step 13 Enter the configure memory command to load the startup configuration file into running memory. This action allows you to modify or replace passwords in the configuration.
Router# configure memory
Step 14 Enter the privileged EXEC command configure terminal to enter configuration mode:
Hostname# configure terminal
Step 15 Change all three passwords using the following commands:
Hostname(config)# enable secret newpassword1
Hostname(config)# enable password newpassword2
Hostname(config)# line con 0
Hostname(config-line)# password newpassword3
Change only the passwords necessary for your configuration. You can remove individual passwords by using the no form of the above commands. For example, entering the no enable secret command removes the enable secret password.
Step 16 You must configure all interfaces to be not administratively shut down as follows:
Hostname(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/0
Hostname(config-int)# no shutdown
Enter the equivalent commands for all interfaces that were originally configured. If you omit this step, all interfaces are administratively shut down and unavailable when the router is restarted.
Step 17 Use the config-register command to set the configuration register to the original value noted in Step 3 or Step 8, or to the factory default value 0x2102 as follows:
Hostname(config)# config-register 0x2102
Step 18 Press Ctrl-Z (hold down the Control key while you press Z) or enter end to exit configuration mode and return to the EXEC command interpreter.
Do not execute the next step unless you have changed or replaced a password. If you skipped
Step 13 through
Step 16, skip to
Step 20. Failure to observe this caution causes you to erase your router configuration file.
Step 19 Enter the copy running-config startup-config command to save the new configuration to NVRAM.
Step 20 Enter the reload command to reboot the router.
Step 21 Log in to the router with the new or recovered passwords.
This completes the steps for recovering or replacing a lost enable, enable secret, or console login password.
Viewing Your System Configuration
You can use the show version, show hardware, and the show diag commands to view information specific to the hardware configuration of your Cisco 7301 router.
Use the show version (or show hardware) command to display the system hardware, processor and the number of interfaces installed, the software version, the names and sources of configuration files, and the boot images.
The following is Cisco 7301 sample output of the show version command:
