Quick Setup Wizard allows you perform the basic router configuration. To configure the router:


Note

Before you access the Web UI, you need to have the basic configuration on the device.

Procedure

Step 1

Ensure that the router is in the factory fresh mode. If the router is not in the factory fresh mode, use the write erase option to erase all the configuration from the router.

Step 2

Ensure that the following basic configuration is available on the device.

!
!
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.5
!
ip dhcp pool WEBUIPool
network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 192.168.1.1

Using Web User Interface for Day One Setup

To configure the Web user interface:

Procedure

Step 1

Configure the HTTP server. By default, the HTTP server configuration should be present on the device. Ensure the configuration by checking if the ip http server andip http secure-server commands are present in the running configuration. 

Device #configure terminal
Device (config)#ip http server
Device (config)#ip http secure-server
Step 2

Set up the authentication options to log into Web UI. You can use one of these methods to authencate:

  1. You can authenicate using local database. To use a local database for Web UI authentication, ensure to have the ip http authentication local command in the running configuration. This command is preconfigured on the device. If the command is not present, configure the device as shown in this example: 

    Device #confuge termincal 
 Device (config)#ip http authentication local
    Note 

    You need a user with privilege 15 to access the configuration screens on Web UI. If the privilege is less than 15, you can access only the Dashboard and Monitoring screens on Web UI.

    To create a user account, use the uername <username> privilege <privilege> password 0 <passwordtext> 

    Device #configure terminal
Device (config)# uername <username> privilege <privilege> password 0 <passwordtext>

  2. Authenticate using AAA options. To use AAA authentication for Web UI, ensure to configure ‘ip http authentication aaa’ on the device. Also, ensure that the required AAA server configuration is present on the devcie. 

    Device #configure terminal
Device (config)#ip http authentication local
Step 3

Launch the browser. In the address bar, type the IP address of the device. For a secure connection, type https://ip-address.

Step 4

Enter the default username (cisco) and password provided with the device
Step 5
