Who Should Use this Section
If your ordering option does not include a configuration file in NVRAM,
and you want to use Cisco CP Express or Cisco CP, use this section.
Who Can Skip this Section
If your ordering option includes a configuration file in NVRAM, you can
skip this section. The router is configured to support Cisco CP Express and
Cisco CP.
Note Make sure that the PC on which Cisco CP Express and Cisco CP is installed can connect to the router
using its IP address.
Cisco CP Express and Cisco CP require the following basic configuration in order to connect to the
router and manage it.
• An http or https server must be enabled with local authentication.
• A local user account with privilege level 15 and accompanying password must be configured.
• Vty line with protocol ssh/telnet must be enabled with local authentication. This is needed for
interactive commands.
• An http timeout policy must be configured with the parameters shown in the following procedure to
avoid a known launch issue with Cisco CP.
• The PC on which Cisco CP is to run and the interface through which Cisco CP will be launched must
be configured with IP addresses from the same subnet.
There are two ways that you can ensure that the router configuration meets these requirements:
• You can copy the default configuration file from router Flash memory to router NVRAM. Each
ordering option provides the default configuration file in router Flash memory. To use this method,
see Copying the Default Configuration File to Router NVRAM.
Cisco Configuration Professional Quick Start Guide

78-18480-08
• You can use the Cisco IOS CLI to enter the necessary configuration commands. To use this method,
see Entering the Configuration Commands Manually.
Copying the Default Configuration File to Router NVRAM
If you want to start with a factory default configuration that is designed to support Cisco CP, you can
use the procedure in this section. The factory default configuration includes all the commands necessary
to support Cisco CP and configures an Ethernet interface with the IP address 10.10.10.1.
To copy the default configuration file from router Flash memory to NVRAM, complete the following
steps.:
Step 1 Log on to the router through the Console port or through an Ethernet port.
Step 2 If you use the Console port, and no running configuration is present in the router, the Setup command
Facility starts automatically, and displays the following text:
--- System Configuration Dialog ---
Continue with configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
Task 2: Configure the Router for Cisco CP
Enter no so that you can enter Cisco IOS CLI commands directly.
If the Setup Command Facility does not start automatically, a running configuration is present, and you
should go to the next step.
Step 3 When the router displays the user EXEC mode prompt, enter the enable command, and the enable
password, if one is configured, as shown below:
Router> enable
password password
Router#
Step 4 To identify the default configuration file, enter the show flash command. The filename is of the form
cpconfig-modelnumber.cfg, where modelnumber represents the router series. For example the
configuration file name for the Cisco 860 and 880 series routers is cpconfig-8xx.cfg.
Router# show flash
-#- --length-- -----date/time------ path
1 2903 Apr 15 2008 20:34:48 +00:00 cpconfig-8xx.cfg
2 115712 Apr 15 2008 20:34:50 +00:00 home.tar
3 2279424 Apr 15 2008 20:34:54 +00:00 cpexpress.tar
Router#
Step 5 To copy the default configuration file to router NVRAM, enter the copy flash: nvram: command, as
shown in the following example:
Router# copy flash:cpconfig-8xx.cfg nvram:
When the default configuration file is in NVRAM, it becomes the router startup configuration.
Step 6 To make the new startup configuration the running configuration, so that the router can support Cisco
CP, enter the copy startup-config running-config command, as shown in the following example:
Router# copy startup-config running-config

Task 2: Configure the Router for Cisco CP
Entering the Configuration Commands Manually
If you don’t want to use the factory default configuration because the router already has a configuration,
or for any other reason, you can use the procedure in this section to add each required command to the
configuration.
To enter the Cisco IOS commands manually, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Log on to the router through the Console port or through an Ethernet port.
Step 2 If you use the Console port, and no running configuration is present in the router, the Setup command
Facility starts automatically, and displays the following text:
--- System Configuration Dialog ---
Continue with configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
Enter no so that you can enter Cisco IOS CLI commands directly.
If the Setup Command Facility does not start automatically, a running configuration is present, and you
should go to the next step.
Step 3 When the router displays the user EXEC mode prompt, enter the enable command, and the enable
password, if one is configured, as shown in the following example:
Router> enable
password password
Step 4 Enter config mode by entering the config terminal command, as shown in the following example.
Router> config terminal
Router(config)#
Step 5 Using the command syntax shown, create a user account with privilege level 15.
Router(config)# username name privilege 15 secret 0 password
Step 6 If no router interface is configured with an IP address, configure one so that you can access the router
over the network. The following example shows the interface Fast Ethernet 0 configured.
Router(config)# int FastEthernet0
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.248
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
Router(config-if)# exit
If you are going to connect the PC directly to the router, the PC must be on the same subnet as this
interface.
Step 7 Configure the router as an http server for nonsecure communication, or as an https server for secure
communication.
To configure the router as an http server, enter the ip http server command shown in the example:
Router(config)# ip http server
To configure the router as an https server, enter the ip http secure-server command shown in the
example:
Router(config)# ip http secure-server
Step 8 Configure the router for local authentication, by entering the ip http authentication local command, as
shown in the example:
Router(config)# ip http authentication local
