Overview of the Hardware and Software
The Cisco 3900 series, Cisco 2900 series, and Cisco 1900 series integrated services routers (ISRs) offer
secure, wire-speed delivery of concurrent data, voice, and video services. The modular design of these
routers provides maximum flexibility, allowing you to configure your router to meet evolving needs.
The routers offer features such as hardware-based virtual private network (VPN) encryption
acceleration, intrusion-protection and firewall functions, and optional integrated call processing and
voice mail. A wide variety of legacy network modules and interfaces, service modules (SMs), internal
services modules (ISMs), next-generation packet voice/data modules (PVDM3), Services Performance
Engines (SPEs), high-density interfaces for a wide range of connectivity requirements, and sufficient
performance and slot density for future network expansion requirements and advanced applications are
available.
Power-saving hardware and software features are incorporated throughout the series. These routers
provide access to the multi-gigabit fabric, which provides a connection between switch ports without
using up external ports. The logical Gigabit Ethernet (GE) interface on the router connects external and
internal modules through the backplane for LAN and WAN switching. Software feature upgrades are
provided through software licensing.

are modular motherboards on Cisco 3900 series ISRs. The SPE
houses PVDM3 slots, system memory slots, and the ISM slot. The SPE
provides a modular approach to system upgrades. You simply slide out the
SPE from the router to replace internal modules, or upgrade the SPE to
improve router performance. See Cisco 2900 series and 3900 series
Integrated Services Routers Hardware Installation Guide for instructions.
Cisco 3900 series routers with either Services Performance Engine 200 or
Services Performance Engine 250 have an onboard cryptographic
accelerator that is shared between SSLVPN and IPSec. By default,
acceleration of SSL is disabled so IPSec performance is maximized.

SFP/Gigabit Ethernet Port Cisco 2921, Cisco 2951 and Cisco 3900 Series routers have an
SFP/Gigabit Ethernet port that supports copper and fiber concurrent
connections. Media can be configured for failover redundancy when the
network goes down. For more information, see the “Configuring Backup
Data Lines and Remote Management” section on page 97.

New Slots
Cisco 3900 series, 2900 series, and 1900 series ISRs have introduced new slots on the chassis. The first
column in Tabl e 3 lists the new slot names. The second column lists the corresponding old slot names.
Modules previously inserted in the old slots now insert in the new slots with the help of an adapter card.
For instance, network modules (NMs), enhanced network modules (NMEs), and extension voice
modules (EVMs) use an adapter, or carrier card, to insert into the SM slot. See your router’s hardware
installation guide for adapter information.

IOS Commands
IOS Commands
Table 7 lists the Cisco IOS commands and features that can trigger an erase, write, or erase and write
operation on a device's boot flash. The erase or write of an attribute on the boot flash can hold the CPU
for a few milliseconds to complete the operation. The CPU hold can result in a functional impact on
protocols or applications that are extremely time sensitive, for instance, Bidirectional Forwarding
Detection (BFD) or routing protocols which use finely tuned short timers. For example, OSPF with fast
hellos and short dead timers.

Configuring I/O Memory Allocation
Chapter Basic Router Configuration
Specifies an encrypted password to prevent
unauthorized access to the router.
Disables the router from translating unfamiliar
words (typos) into IP addresses.
Example
To reallocate the percentage of DRAM in use for I/O memory and processor memory on Cisco 3925E
and Cisco 3945E routers, use the memory-size iomemi/o-memory-percentage command in global
configuration mode. To revert to the default memory allocation, use the no form of this command. This
procedure enables smartinit.
Syntax Description
i/o-memory-percentage The percentage of DRAM allocated to I/O memory. The values permitted
are 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, and 50. A minimum of 201 MB of memory is
required for I/O memory.
TipWe recommend that you configure the memory-size iomem below 25%. Any value above 25% should be
used only for enhancing IPSec performance.
When you specify the percentage of I/O memory in the command line, the processor memory
automatically acquires the remaining percentage of DRAM memory.
The following example allocates 25% of the DRAM memory to I/O memory and the remaining 75% to
processor memory:
Router#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# memory-size iomem 5
IO memory size too small: minimum IO memory size is 201M
Router(config)#
Router(config)# memory-size iomem ?
<5-50> percentage of DRAM to use for I/O memory: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50
16
Router(config)# memory-size iomem 25
Smart-init will be disabled and new I/O memory size will take effect upon reload.
Router(config)# end

1. On the Cisco 2901 router, the numbering format for configuring an asynchronous interface is 0/slot/port. To configure the line associated with an
asynchronous interface, simply use the interface number to specify the asynchronous line. For example, line 0/1/0 specifies the line associated with
interface serial 0/1/0 on a WIC-2A/S in slot 1. Similarly, line 0/2/1 specifies the line associated with interface async 0/2/1 on a WIC-2AM in slot 2.

Configuring Wireless LAN Interfaces
The wireless LAN interface on the Cisco 1941W router enables connection to the router through
interface wlan-ap0. For more information about configuring a wireless connection, see the
“Configuring the Wireless Device” section on page 247.
Configuring Wireless LAN Interfaces
Enables the GE interface, changing its state
from administratively down to administratively
up.
Exits configuration mode for the GE interface
and returns to global configuration mode.
Configuring Interface Card and Module Interfaces
To configure interface cards and modules inserted in internal services module (ISM), enhanced
high-speed WAN interface card (EHWIC), Ethernet WAN interface card (EWIC), and service module
(SM) slots, see the appropriate interface card or module configuration documents on Cisco.com.
Configuring a Loopback Interface
The loopback interface acts as a placeholder for the static IP address and provides default routing
information.
For complete information on the loopback commands, see the Cisco IOS Release configuration guide
documentation set.
To configure a loopback interface, follow these steps, beginning in global configuration mode.

Chapter Basic Router Configuration
Example
The loopback interface in this sample configuration is used to support Network Address Translation
(NAT) on the virtual-template interface. This configuration example shows the loopback interface
configured on the gigabit ethernet interface with an IP address of 200.200.100.1/24, which acts as a static
IP address. The loopback interface points back to virtual-template1, which has a negotiated IP address.

Verifying Configuration
To verify that you have properly configured the loopback interface, enter the show interface loopback
command. You should see verification output similar to the following example.
Router# show interface loopback 0
Loopback0 is up, line protocol is up
Hardware is Loopback
Internet address is 200.200.100.1/24
MTU 1514 bytes, BW 8000000 Kbit, DLY 5000 usec,
reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
Encapsulation LOOPBACK, loopback not set
Last input never, output never, output hang never
Last clearing of "show interface" counters never
Queueing strategy: fifo
Output queue 0/0, 0 drops; input queue 0/75, 0 drops

Another way to verify the loopback interface is to ping it:
Router# ping 200.200.100.1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 200.200.100.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/4 ms

SUMMARY STEPS
and can be seen in a router or access server configuration as line x. The specific line numbers are a
function of the hardware built into or installed on the router or access server. In Cisco ISR G2 series
routers, the TTY lines are incremented by 1 and start with line number3 instead of line number 2 in Cisco
ISR G1 series routers. In ISR G2 series routers, line number 2 cannot be accessed since it has been used
for the second core feature.TTY lines are not static and line numbers can be changed in future when more
features are added similar to the second core.
