CONFIGURE YOUR ROUTER
Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these steps to connect your CVO router to the ISP device and to your PC
Step 1
Make sure your ISP device (DSL modem, cable modem, etc) is plugged in and turned on. If your ISP
device is already on, power off your ISP device and wait 10 seconds. Remove the cables. Then power it
up and wait 30 seconds to complete the reset and reconnect your cables. Plug in your CVO router as
shown and power it up. Do not do any type of soft reboot on your ISP devices at this point.
Step 2
Plug the CVO router into the ISP modem/router using an Ethernet cable going from the Ethernet port on
the ISP device, to the WAN/FE4 port on the CVO router as shown in
Figure 1
.
Step 3
Plug your PC into the CVO router using the LAN trusted port FE0 as shown in
Figure 1
.
Configure Your Router
Once you have set up your CVO hardware you will need to configure your router so that you can access
the Internet and your company’s corporate network.
After the Internet connectivity is established you need to follow the steps that invoke the Secure Device
Provisioning (SDP) tool to communicate with your company’s core infrastructure and complete your
CVO router's configuration.
Internet Connectivity
The configuration needed to connect to the Internet is determined by the IP address assignment type.
DHCP Assignment
If you have a DHCP connection, your PC should already be able to access the Internet at this point, no
additional work is needed.
Other (PPPoE or Static) Assignment
If your IP address assignment type is
anything other than DHCP
some additional configuration is
needed to access the Internet. You must run the Cisco Configuration Professional Express (CCP Express)
tool and follow the steps to get the router connected to the Internet before you can proceed. You must
know what type of connectivity your ISP is providing you, typically PPPoE or static IP. Your ISP should
be able to give you this information.
Go to “Appendix A: CCP Configuration” in this document and
follow the instructions to get internet access. Once done, return to the “Corporate Network
Connectivity” section and complete the SDP provisioning process.
Corporate Network Connectivity
Step 1
Test your Internet connection.
To double check that your PC is now connected to the Internet, open a browser window and type any
Internet website, for example,
www.cisco.com
.
Step 2
Initiate the Secure Device Provisioning (SDP) Process.
