Configuring the Router
If after five attempts a valid Cisco IOS image is not found in Flash memory, the router
3
reverts to boot ROM mode (which is used to install or upgrade a Cisco IOS image).
If a valid Cisco IOS image is found, then the router searches for a valid configuration
4
file.
If a valid configuration file is not found in NVRAM, the router runs the System
5
Configuration Dialog so you can configure it manually. For normal router operation,
there must be a valid Cisco IOS image in Flash memory and a configuration file in
NVRAM.
The first time you boot your router, you will need to configure the router interfaces and then
save the configuration to a file in NVRAM. Proceed to the next section, "Configuring the
Router," for configuration instructions.
Configuring the Router
You can configure the router using one of the following procedures:
•
Configuration mode—Recommended if you are familiar with Cisco IOS commands.
•
AutoInstall—Recommended for automatic installation if another router running
Cisco IOS software is installed on the network. This configuration method must be set
up by someone with experience using Cisco IOS software.
•
System Configuration Dialog—Recommended if you are not familiar with Cisco IOS
commands.
Use the procedure that best fits the needs of your network configuration and level of
Cisco IOS experience.
