8 Power Up the Router

This section provides the procedures for powering up your Cisco 815 integrated services router.

Caution To ensure adequate cooling, never operate the router unless the cover and all WICs and cover plates are installed.

Checklist for Power-Up

You are ready to power up the Cisco 815 integrated services router after the following steps are completed:

• Chassis is securely mounted and grounded. (See the “Install the Router” section on page 9.)

• Power and interface cables are connected. (See the “Connect to the Router” section on page 15.)

• PC with terminal emulation program is connected to the console port, powered up, and configured for 9600 bps, 8 data

bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control, and no parity.

• Suitable PC COM port is selected in the terminal emulation program.

Note For initial power-up, a direct console connection is recommended. After the initial configuration is completed, a remote

modem connection can be used for router management.

Powering Up the Router

Follow these steps to power up your Cisco 815 integrated services router and to verify that it goes through its initialization and
self-test. After the router completes the self-test, it is ready to be configured.

Note Use the back panel LEDs during router installation to confirm that you have correctly connected all the cables to the

router.

Note To view the boot sequence, you must have a console connection to the Cisco 815 integrated services router before it

powers up.

Step 1 Make sure that your PC is powered up and connected as described in the “Checklist for Power-Up” section.
Step 2 Move the power switch to the ON position. The SYS PWR LED on the front of the chassis blinks green. The fans

operate once the router reaches a threshold point temperature. If this does not happen, see the Troubleshooting module
in the online Cisco 815 integrated services router hardware installation documentation at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/routers/ps380/prod_installation_guides_list.html

Startup messages appear in your terminal emulation program window. When the startup messages end, the SYS PWR
LED shows solid green.

Caution Do not press any keys on the keyboard until the messages stop and the SYS PWR LED is solid green. Any keys

pressed during this time are interpreted as the first command typed when the messages stop, which might cause the
router to power off and restart. It takes a few minutes for the messages to stop.

If you see the following messages, the router has booted with a configuration file and is ready for initial configuration
using Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (Cisco SDM):

yourname con0 is now available
Press RETURN to get started.

18

Note Because Cisco SDM is installed on your router by default, we recommend using Cisco SDM to perform the

initial configuration.

See the “Configure the Router Using Cisco Router and Security Device Manager” section on page 19 to learn how to
configure your router using Cisco SDM, or how to obtain Cisco SDM and install it on your router.

Note If you do not have Cisco SDM on your router, and would like to use Cisco SDM, go to the following location

for instructions on how to install it on your Cisco 815 series router:

http://www.cisco.com/go/sdm

If you see the following messages, the router has booted and is ready for initial configuration using the setup command
facility or the command-line interface (CLI):

--- System Configuration Dialog ---

13 Cisco Product Security Overview

Cisco provides a free online Security Vulnerability Policy portal at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html

From this site, you will find information about how to:

• Report security vulnerabilities in Cisco products.

• Obtain assistance with security incidents that involve Cisco products.

• Register to receive security information from Cisco.

A current list of security advisories, security notices, and security responses for Cisco products is available at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/go/psirt

To see security advisories, security notices, and security responses as they are updated in real time, you can subscribe to the
Product Security Incident Response Team Really Simple Syndication (PSIRT RSS) feed. Information about how to subscribe to
the PSIRT RSS feed is found at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_psirt_rss_feed.html

Reporting Security Problems in Cisco Products

Cisco is committed to delivering secure products. We test our products internally before we release them, and we strive to correct
all vulnerabilities quickly. If you think that you have identified a vulnerability in a Cisco product, contact PSIRT:

• For Emergencies only—[e-mail]

An emergency is either a condition in which a system is under active attack or a condition for which a severe and urgent
security vulnerability should be reported. All other conditions are considered nonemergencies.

• For Nonemergencies—[e-mail]

In an emergency, you can also reach PSIRT by telephone:

• 1 877 228-7302

• 1 408 525-6532

Tip We encourage you to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or a compatible product (for example, GnuPG) to encrypt any

sensitive information that you send to Cisco. PSIRT can work with information that has been encrypted with PGP
versions 2.x through 9.x.

Never use a revoked or an expired encryption key. The correct public key to use in your correspondence with PSIRT is
the one linked in the Contact Summary section of the Security Vulnerability Policy page at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_vulnerability_policy.html

The link on this page has the current PGP key ID in use.

If you do not have or use PGP, contact PSIRT at the aforementioned e-mail addresses or phone numbers before sending
any sensitive material to find other means of encrypting the data.

14 Obtaining Technical Assistance

Cisco Technical Support provides 24-hour-a-day award-winning technical assistance. The Cisco Technical Support &
Documentation website on Cisco.com features extensive online support resources. In addition, if you have a valid Cisco service
contract, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not have a valid Cisco service

The Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving
technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The website is available 24 hours a day, at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport

Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you
have a valid service contract but do not have a user ID or password, you can register at this URL:

http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do

Note Use the Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool to locate your product serial number before submitting a web or phone

request for service. You can access the CPI tool from the Cisco Technical Support & Documentation website by clicking
the Tools & Resources link under Documentation & Tools. Choose Cisco Product Identification Tool from the
Alphabetical Index drop-down list, or click the Cisco Product Identification Tool link under Alerts & RMAs. The CPI
tool offers three search options: by product ID or model name; by tree view; or for certain products, by copying and
pasting show command output. Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label location
highlighted. Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information before placing a service call.

Submitting a Service Request

Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are
those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your
situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended
resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest

For S1 or S2 service requests, or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service
requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco engineers are assigned immediately
to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: [phone] (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: [phone]
USA: 1 800 553-2447

For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/contacts

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—An existing network is down, or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will
commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operations are
negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal
business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of the network is impaired, while most business operations remain functional. You
and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is
little or no effect on your business operations.
