Task 2: Configure the Router for Cisco CP
This task section explains how to configure the router to support Cisco CP Express and Cisco CP.
Note
The tasks that follow can also be accomplished using the
Application > Setup New Device
option in
Cisco CP by connecting the PC to the console port of the device. See the topic Device Wizard in the
Cisco Configuration Professional User Guide 2.5
at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9422/products_user_guide_list.html
for more details.
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
.
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.
