Refer to the Cisco IOS configuration guide and command reference publi-
cations for more information about the commands you can use to
configure the router. To verify the configuration entries, use the “write
terminal” command at the privileged EXEC prompt.
5. When you are finished configuring the router, enter the exit command
until you return to the privileged EXEC prompt (Router#).
6. To save the configuration changes to NVRAM, enter the copy running-
config startup-config command at the privileged EXEC prompt.
Router# copy running-config startup-config

The router will now boot with the configuration you entered.
Using AutoInstall
The AutoInstall process is designed to configure the router automatically after
connection to your WAN. In order for AutoInstall to work properly, a Trans-
mission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) host on your network
must be preconfigured to provide the required configuration files. The TCP/
IP host may exist anywhere on the network as long as the following two
conditions are maintained:
1. The host must be on the remote side of the router’s synchronous serial
connection to the WAN.
2. User Datagram Protocol (UDP) broadcasts to and from the router and the
TCP/IP host must be enabled.
This functionality is coordinated by your system administrator at the site
where the TCP/IP host is located. You should not attempt to use AutoInstall
unless the required files have been provided on the TCP/IP host. For more
information, refer to the Cisco IOS configuration guide and command refer-
ence publications.
Take the following steps to prepare your router for the AutoInstall process:
1. Attach the WAN cable to the router.
2. Power ON or Reset the router.
3. The router will load the operating system image from Flash memory. If
the remote end of the WAN connection is connected and properly config-
ured, the AutoInstall process will begin.
