Initial Configuration
This chapter provides instructions for initial configuration of the Cisco 860 series and Cisco 880 series
Integrated Services Routers (ISRs). For initial configuration, we recommend using
Cisco
Configuration Professional (CP) Express. Cisco CP Express is a web-based graphical user
interface that guides you through initial configuration.
You may also 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.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Cisco Configuration Professional Express, page 4-1
• Cisco IOS CLI, page 4-1
• Setup Command Facility, page 4-3
• Verifying the Initial Configuration, page 4-5
• Initial Configuration of the Wireless Access Point, page 4-5
Note Some SKUs may not include a default configuration file. If your router does not have a default
configuration file, go to the
“Setup Command Facility” section on page 3 to configure the initial router
settings.
Cisco Configuration Professional Express
After you connect cables and power up the router, we recommend that you use the Cisco CP Express
web-based application to configure the initial router settings.
For instructions on how to use Cisco CP Express to configure the router see the Cisco CP Express User’s
Guide.
Cisco IOS CLI
To configure the initial router settings by using the Cisco IOS CLI, you will need to set up a console
connection. For instructions on how to setup a console connection, see the
“Connecting a Terminal or
PC to the Console Port” section on page 3-6.
