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 20 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 ---
At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help.
Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt.
Default settings are in square brackets '[]'.
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
To use the setup command facility and use the CLI to configure the router, see the
“Setting Up the Initial
Configuration Using the Setup Command Facility”
and
“Setting Up the Initial Configuration Using the Setup
Command Facility”
sections.
If the
rommon 1>
prompt appears, your system has booted in ROM monitor mode.
Verifying the Hardware Configuration
To display and verify the hardware features, enter the
show version
command. This command displays the system hardware
version; the installed software version; the names and sources of configuration files; the boot images; and the amount of installed
DRAM, NVRAM, and flash memory.
