Configuring the Cisco 7206 Chapter 4 Performing a Basic Configuration of the Cisco 7206 You must enter the correct password to gain access to privileged-level commands. The passwords should be different for maximum security. If you enter the same password for both during the setup script, the system will accept it, but you will receive a warning message indicating that you should enter a different password. An enable secret password can contain from 1 to 25 uppercase and lowercase alphanumeric characters; an enable password can contain any number of uppercase and lowercase alphanumeric characters. In both cases, a number cannot be the first character. Spaces are also valid password characters; for example, "two words" is a valid password. Leading spaces are ignored; trailing spaces are recognized. Configuring the Cisco 7206 You can configure the Cisco 7206 using one of the procedures described in the following sections: • Configuring the Cisco 7206 Using AutoInstall, page 4-2 • Configuring the Cisco 7206 Manually Using the Setup Facility, page 4-3 • Configuring the Cisco 7206 Using Configuration Mode, page 4-9 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. Configuring the Cisco 7206 Using AutoInstall The AutoInstall process is designed to configure the Cisco 7206 automatically after connection to your WAN. For AutoInstall to work properly, a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (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. See the publications Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide and Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference for information about how AutoInstall works. Complete the following steps to prepare your Cisco 7206 for the AutoInstall process: Step 1 Step 2 Attach the appropriate synchronous serial cable to synchronous serial interface 0 on the router. Turn the power switch on each 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. Cisco 7206 Installation and Configuration Guide 4-2 OL-5102-02
