3 Configure the Universal Access Server

Use any of the following options for configuring your universal access server:

• Cisco Fast Step software

• Cisco IOS Release setup script

• Command line interface
The option you select depends on how you want to configure your universal access server. Use the information

on this page to help you decide which option to select.

Using Cisco Fast Step Software

Cisco Fast Step is a setup utility with a graphical user interface. It provides easy, step-by-step instructions for
setting up some of the most commonly used options available on the Cisco AS5200 universal access server. Use
Cisco Fast Step to configure your access server with the following options:

• Protocols and services (IP, IPX, and NetBEUI)

12

• LAN or WAN topology of 10BaseT, 10/100BaseT, and serial ports

• Controller settings (PRI or channelized T1/E1 interfaces)

• WAN encapsulation settings (Frame Relay and HDLC)

• LAN or WAN side IP or IPX settings

• Dial-in side IP or IPX settings

• IP address pools or DHCP server settings for dial-in users

• Access server security and security server settings

• Routing protocol settings including default and user defined (static) routes

Using Other Options

For all other configurations, use the Cisco IOS Release setup script or the command line interface. Refer to the
Cisco AS5200 Universal Access Server Software Configuration Guide for detailed instructions on using the
command line interface to configure your Cisco AS5200 universal access server.
