Cisco Virtual Office – End User Instructions for
Cisco 1811 Router Set Up at Home or Small Office

This document describes the end-user instructions to deploy the Cisco Virtual Office (CVO) for home or
small office use.

Cisco Virtual Office (CVO) solution offers a seamless home/small office experience comparable to
working in your company’s central office. CVO features support secure, always-on wired and wireless
(WLAN) data connectivity, voice services, and video capabilities.

Setup Your CVO Hardware

In this section you will be able to identify the basic hardware configuration needed to install the CVO
solution in your home/office. This is a known working configuration to assist you in your initial set-up
and is not intended to cover all variations of home/office network environments. This guide is written
based on Cisco 1811 routers.

Ports on the CVO Router

It is important that you understand which ports on the back of your CVO router are used for what
purposes.

• FE1 to FE9: LAN Ports FE1 to FE9 are end-user device secure ports. Connect your

PC/Mac/Linux/IP phone equipment here.

• FE0: Use the WAN/FE0 port to connect your CVO router to your Internet Service Provider (ISP)

device.

SETUP YOUR CVO HARDWARE

How to Connect Your Equipment

This scenario shows an example of your company’s provided devices and the Internet Service Provider
(ISP) device (modem/router) properly connected to a CVO 1811W router.s

For detailed descriptions, see below Step-by-Step Instructions.

Figure 1 End-to-end View of How Your Devices Should Connect Together

Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these steps to connect your CVO router to the ISP device and to your PC

Step 1 Make sure your ISP device (DSL modem, cable modem, etc) is plugged in and turned on. If your ISP

device is already on, power off your ISP device and wait 10 seconds. Remove the cables. Then power it
up and wait 30 seconds to complete the reset and reconnect your cables. Plug in your CVO router as
shown and power it up. Do not do any type of soft reboot on your ISP devices at this point.

Step 2 Plug the CVO router into the ISP modem/router using an Ethernet cable going from the Ethernet port on

the ISP device, to the WAN/FE4 port on the CVO router as shown in Figure 1.

Step 3 Plug your PC into the CVO router using the LAN trusted port FE0 as shown in Figure 1.

Configure Your Router

Once you have set up your CVO hardware you will need to configure your router so that you can access
the Internet and your company’s corporate network.

After the Internet connectivity is established you need to follow the steps that invoke the Secure Device
Provisioning (SDP) tool to communicate with your company’s core infrastructure and complete your
CVO router's configuration.

Internet Connectivity

The configuration needed to connect to the Internet is determined by the IP address assignment type.

DHCP Assignment

If you have a DHCP connection, your PC should already be able to access the Internet at this point, no
additional work is needed.

Other (PPPoE or Static) Assignment

If your IP address assignment type is anything other than DHCP some additional configuration is
needed to access the Internet. You must run the Cisco Configuration Professional Express (CCP Express)
tool and follow the steps to get the router connected to the Internet before you can proceed. You must
know what type of connectivity your ISP is providing you, typically PPPoE or static IP. Your ISP should
be able to give you this information. Go to “Appendix A: CCP Configuration” in this document and

follow the instructions to get internet access. Once done, return to the “Corporate Network
Connectivity” section and complete the SDP provisioning process.

CONFIGURE YOUR ROUTER

Corporate Network Connectivity

Step 1 Test your Internet connection.

To double check that your PC is now connected to the Internet, open a browser window and type any
Internet website, for example, www.cisco.com.

Step 2 Initiate the Secure Device Provisioning (SDP) Process.

You will need to complete the process for Secure Device Provisioning (SDP) so that your CVO router
can access the corporate network and securely download its configuration.

If you are using Static addressing or PPPoE and used CCP Express for the initial configuration of your
router, specifying SDP for provisioning, then CCP Express will automatically direct you to the SDP
welcome page, where you have to authenticate using the login username/password that you configured
during the CCP Express setup (Figure 2).

Step 3

If you’re using DHCP, to initiate the SDP process, go to the PC which is connected to the CVO router
and open a browser window. Then type in the address bar: http://10.10.10.1/ezsdd/welcome. You will be
prompted to authenticate, and you must use username/password cisco/cisco.

You will see the screen shown in Figure 3 while the router prepares for the rest of the SDP process.

Securely download the CVO router configuration.

When the screen refreshes you will notice a field for site URL. Enter the URL provided by your network
administrator (Figure 4).

After you click Next you will see a Security Request confirmation window; select Yes to proceed.

Step 4 Authenticate yourself.

When the system attempts to connect to the corporate CVO management server, you are prompted to
authenticate yourself. You must use the credentials provided by your network administrator (Figure 5).
