This chapter describes how to complete a basic configuration of the Cisco 3800 Expansion Router Module (ERM) and contains the following sections:
This chapter provides enough information to get the Cisco 3800 ERM up and running. Detailed software configuration information is available in the Cisco IOS configuration guide and command reference publications, which are available on the Cisco Documentation CD-ROM.
To configure the Cisco 3800 ERM, you must access the ERM's command-line interface (CLI).
If you will be configuring the ERM on site, connect a console terminal (an ASCII terminal or a PC running terminal emulation software) to the console port (see Figure 3-6) on your Cisco 3800 ERM.
For remote access, connect a modem to the auxiliary port on the Cisco 3800 ERM (see Figure 3-7).
Each time you turn on power to the Cisco 3800 ERM, it goes through the following boot sequence:
The first time you boot the Cisco 3800 ERM, you need to configure the Cisco 3800 ERM interfaces and then save the configuration to a file in NVRAM. Proceed to the next section, "Configuring the Cisco 3800 ERM for the First Time," for configuration instructions.
You can configure the Cisco 3800 ERM using one of the following procedures, which are described in this section:
![]() | Time Saver Obtain the correct network addresses from your system administrator or consult your network plan to determine correct addresses before you begin to configure the Cisco 3800 ERM. |
Use the procedure that best meets the needs of your network configuration and level of experience using Cisco IOS software. If you use configuration mode or AutoInstall to configure the Cisco 3800 ERM and you would like a quick review of the Cisco IOS software, refer to the section "Cisco IOS Software Basics" later in this chapter. Otherwise, proceed to the next section, "Using the System Configuration Dialog."
If you do not plan to use AutoInstall, make sure the serial transition cable is disconnected from the Cisco 3800 ERM. This will prevent the Cisco 3800 ERM from attempting to the run the AutoInstall process. The Cisco 3800 ERM will attempt to run AutoInstall whenever you turn it on if there is a WAN connection on both ends and the Cisco 3800 ERM does not have a configuration file stored in NVRAM. It can take several minutes for the Cisco 3800 ERM to determine that AutoInstall is not connected to a remote TCP/IP host.
If your Cisco 3800 ERM does not have a configuration (setup) file and you are not using AutoInstall, the Cisco 3800 ERM will automatically start the setup command facility. An interactive dialog called the System Configuration Dialog appears on the console screen. This dialog helps you navigate through the configuration process by prompting you for the configuration information necessary for the Cisco 3800 ERM to operate.
This section gives an example configuration using the System Configuration Dialog. When you are configuring your Cisco 3800 ERM, respond as appropriate for your network.
At any time during the System Configuration Dialog, you can request help by entering a question mark (?) at a prompt.
Before proceeding with the System Configuration Dialog, obtain from your system administrator the node addresses and the number of bits in the subnet field (if applicable) of the Ethernet, Token Ring, and synchronous serial ports.
Take the following steps to configure the Cisco 3800 ERM using the System Configuration Dialog:
Step 1 After connecting a console terminal or modem to the rear panel of the Cisco 3800 ERM and powering ON the Cisco 3800, wait about 30 seconds for messages to be displayed, corresponding to the Cisco IOS release and feature set you selected. The screen displays in this section are for reference only and might not exactly reflect the screen displays on your console. Following is an example of the messages displayed:
Step 2 Press Return or enter yes to begin the configuration process.
Step 3 When the System Configuration Dialog asks whether you want to view the current interface summary, press Return or enter yes:
yes
Step 4 Configure the global parameters. A typical configuration follows:
Step 5 Next, you are prompted to enter an enable secret password. There are two types of privileged-level passwords:
The enable password is used when the enable secret password does not exist. For maximum security, be sure the passwords are different. If you enter the same password for both, the Cisco 3800 ERM will accept your entry, but will display a warning message indicating that you should enter a different password.
Step 6 Enter an enable secret password:
Step 7 Enter the enable and virtual terminal passwords:
Step 8 Press Return to accept Simple Network Management Protocol management, or enter no to refuse it:
no
Step 9 In the following example, the Cisco 3800 ERM is configured for AppleTalk, IP, and Internetwork Packet Exchange. Configure the appropriate protocols for your Cisco 3800 ERM:
yes
yes
15
yes
The Ethernet and Token Ring interfaces are configured to allow connection to a LAN. To configure the interface parameters, you need to know your Ethernet or Token Ring interface network addresses.
Take the following steps to configure an Ethernet or Token Ring interface to allow communication over a LAN:
Step 1 Press Return or enter yes to configure the LAN interface:
Step 2 Determine which protocols you want to support on the LAN interface and enter the appropriate responses. In the following example, the system is configured for IP, AppleTalk, and IPX:
172.16.72.1
8
yes
yes
3
3
otherzone
yes
B001
Step 3 If the Token Ring interface on your Cisco 3800 ERM will be utilized, repeat this procedure to configure the second LAN interface.
The synchronous serial interface is configured to allow connection to a WAN via the Cisco 3800 Combo card. After the Ethernet or Token Ring ports on your Cisco 3800 ERM have been configured, take the following steps to configure the synchronous serial interface:
Step 1 Press Return or enter yes to configure serial port 0:
Step 2 Determine which protocols you want on the synchronous serial interface and enter the appropriate responses. In the following example, the system is configured for IP, AppleTalk, and IPX:
172.16.73.1
yes
4
4
ZZ Serial
yes
B002
Step 3 The configuration you entered is now displayed and you are asked if you want to use the displayed configuration. If you enter no, you will lose the configuration information you just entered and can begin the configuration again. If you enter yes, the configuration will be entered and saved in the startup configuration:
yes
You can configure the Cisco 3800 ERM manually if you prefer not to use AutoInstall or the prompt-driven System Configuration Dialog.
Take the following steps to configure the Cisco 3800 ERM manually:
Step 1 Connect a console terminal by following the instructions described in the section "Connecting a Terminal or PC to the ERM Console Port" in the chapter "Installing the Cisco 3800 ERM," and then power ON the Cisco 3800 ERM.
Step 2 When you are prompted to enter the initial dialog, enter no to go into the normal operating mode of the Cisco 3800 ERM:
no
Step 3 After a few seconds you will see the user EXEC prompt (Router>). By default, the host name is Router, but the prompt will match the current host name. In the following examples, the host name is 3800-ERM. Enter the enable command to enter enable mode. You can only make configuration changes in enable mode:
enable
The prompt will change to the privileged EXEC (enable) prompt, 3800-ERM#.
Step 4 Enter the configure terminal command at the enable prompt to enter configuration mode:
config terminal
You can now enter any changes you want to the configuration. You will probably want to perform the following tasks:
(a) Assign a host name for the Cisco 3800 ERM using the hostname command.
(b) Enter an enable secret password using the enable password command.
(c) Assign addresses to the interfaces using the protocol address command.
(d) Specify which protocols to support on the interfaces.
Refer to the Cisco IOS configuration guide and command reference publications for more information about the commands you can use to configure the Cisco 3800 ERM. You can also refer to the Cisco 3800 Series Software Configuration Guide and Command Reference and Cisco 3800 Series Hardware Installation Guide for information about the commands you can use to configure the Cisco 3800 ERM.
Step 5 When you finish configuring the Cisco 3800 ERM, enter the exit command until you return to the privileged EXEC prompt (3800-ERM#).
Step 6 To save the configuration changes to NVRAM, enter the copy running-config startup-config command at the privileged EXEC prompt:
copy running-config startup-config
The Cisco 3800 ERM is now configured and will boot with the configuration you entered.
This section describes a typical Frame Relay configuration.
An example configuration is included in the next section, "Example Frame Relay Configuration." Both the ERM and Combo card configurations are shown. You may want to refer to this example configuration during this procedure.
Take the following steps to configure the ERM for a basic Frame Relay connection, substituting the correct addresses and host names as appropriate for your network:
Step 1 Enter privileged EXEC mode:
enable
enablepassword
Step 2 Enter the configure terminal command to enter global configuration mode.
Step 3 To set Frame Relay encapsulation, enter interface configuration mode and specify the serial interface:
Step 4 Enter the following command to specify the encapsulation method:
Step 5 A static map links a specified next-hop protocol address to a specified DLCI. Static mapping removes the need for Inverse ARP requests; when you supply a static map, Inverse ARP is automatically disabled for the specified DLCI.
To establish static mapping according to your network needs, you need to define the mapping between a next-hop protocol address and the DLCI used to connect to the address. The following are examples for IP and bridging. The active IP addresses and DLCIs will be different for your network:
frame-relay map ip 6.0.0.4 16 broadcast
frame-relay map bridge 16 broadcast
Step 6 Enter the exit command to exit interface configuration mode.
Step 7 Enter the copy running-config startup-config command to save the configuration to NVRAM.
This section includes a configuration for the Cisco 3800 ERM and its associated Combo card. The configuration that you put in the ERM must match the configuration you put in the Combo card. In order to establish connectivity between the ERM and the Combo card, the ERM configuration parameters (such as IP address, DLCI, and protocol) must match corresponding parameters in the Combo card configuration.
The following is an example configuration for the Cisco 3800 ERM, which communicates with the Combo card using serial port 0.

The AutoInstall process is designed to configure the Cisco 3800 ERM automatically after connection to your WAN via the Combo card. For AutoInstall to work properly, a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) host on your network must be preconfigured to provide the required configuration files. The TCP/IP host can exist anywhere on the network as long as the following two conditions are maintained:
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 reference publications.
Take the following steps to prepare your Cisco 3800 ERM for the AutoInstall process:
Step 1 Attach the special serial transition cable to the Cisco 3800 ERM.
Step 2 Turn ON the Cisco 3800 ERM.
The Cisco 3800 ERM will load the operating system image from Flash memory. If the remote end of the WAN connection is connected to the Combo card and properly configured, the AutoInstall process will begin.
Step 3 If AutoInstall completes successfully, enter the copy running-config startup-config command in privileged EXEC mode to write the configuration data to the Cisco 3800 ERM's NVRAM:
copy running-config startup-config
Taking this step saves the configuration settings that the AutoInstall process created to the Cisco 3800 ERM's NVRAM. If you do not do this, the configuration will be lost the next time you reload the Cisco 3800 ERM.
This concludes the initial Cisco 3800 ERM configuration.
When you have installed and configured the Cisco 3800 ERM, you can use the following commands in user EXEC mode to verify network connectivity:
If there is a problem with network connectivity, refer to the section "Reading Front Panel LEDs" in the appendix "Maintaining the Cisco 3800 ERM," and check the cable connections. If there is still a problem, check the Cisco 3800 ERM configuration. Contact customer service for further assistance.
To verify the connection to the Combo card, use the ping, telnet, or trace commands:
3800-ERM#ping172.16.24.9Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 172.16.24.9, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 4/4/4 ms
3800-ERM#telnet172.16.24.9Trying 172.16.24.9 . . . OpenUser Access VerificationUsername:
3800-ERM#trace172.16.24.9Type escape sequence to abort. Tracing the route to wan-1-2.cisco.com (172.16.24.9) 1. COMBO.cisco.com (172.16.24.9) 4 msec * 4 msec
You can enter multiple boot commands in the configuration in NVRAM to provide a backup method for loading the Cisco IOS image onto the Cisco 3800 ERM. The Cisco 3800 ERM boots using the first boot command that succeeds. If you enter multiple boot commands, the Cisco 3800 ERM executes them in the order they are entered. There are two ways to load the Cisco IOS image: from Flash memory or from a TFTP server on the network.

The section provides you with some basic information about the Cisco IOS software and includes the following sections:
Cisco IOS software provides access to several different command modes. Each command mode provides a different group of related commands.
For security purposes, Cisco IOS software provides two levels of access to commands: user and privileged. The unprivileged user mode is called user EXEC mode. The privileged mode is called privileged EXEC mode and requires a password. The commands available in user EXEC mode are a subset of the commands available in privileged EXEC mode.
Table 4-1 describes some of the most commonly used modes, how to enter the modes, and the resulting prompts. The prompt helps you identify which mode you are in and, therefore, which commands are available to you.
| Mode of Operation | Usage | How to Enter the Mode | Prompt |
|---|---|---|---|
| User EXEC | User EXEC commands allow you to connect to remote devices, change terminal settings on a temporary basis, perform basic tests, and list system information. The EXEC commands available at the user level are a subset of those available at the privileged level. | Log in. | 3800-ERM> |
| Privileged EXEC | Privileged EXEC commands set operating parameters. The privileged command set includes those commands contained in user EXEC mode, and also the configure command through which you can access the remaining command modes. Privileged EXEC mode also includes high-level testing commands, such as debug. | From user EXEC mode, enter the enable EXEC command.
| 3800-ERM# |
| Global configuration | Global configuration commands apply to features that affect the system as a whole. | From global configuration mode, enter the configure privileged EXEC command. | 3800-ERM(config)# |
| Interface configuration | Interface configuration commands modify the operation of an interface such as an Ethernet, Token Ring, or serial port. Many features are enabled on a per-interface basis. Interface configuration commands always follow an interface global configu- ration command, which defines the interface type. | From global configuration mode, enter the interface type number command. For example, enter the interface serial 0 command to configure the serial 0 interface. | 3800-ERM(config-if)# |
| ROM monitor | ROM monitor commands are used to perform low- level diagnostics. You can also use the ROM monitor commands to recover from a system failure and stop the boot process in a specific operating environment.1 | From privileged EXEC mode, enter the reload EXEC command. Press Break during the first 60 seconds while the system is booting. | > |
Almost every configuration command also has a no form. In general, use the no form to disable a feature or function. Use the command without the keyword no to reenable a disabled feature or to enable a feature that is disabled by default. For example, IP routing is enabled by default. To disable IP routing, enter the no ip routing command and enter ip routing to reenable it. The Cisco IOS software command reference publication provides the complete syntax for the configuration commands and describes what the no form of a command does.
In any command mode, you can get a list of available commands by entering a question mark (?).
3800-ERM> ?
To obtain a list of commands that begin with a particular character sequence, type in those characters followed immediately by the question mark (?). Do not include a space. This form of help is called word help, because it completes a word for you.
3800-ERM# co?
configure connect copy
To list keywords or arguments, enter a question mark in place of a keyword or argument. Include a space before the question mark. This form of help is called command syntax help, because it reminds you which keywords or arguments are applicable based on the command, keywords, and arguments you have already entered.
3800-ERM# configure ?
memory Configure from NV memory
network Configure from a TFTP network host
terminal Configure from the terminal
<cr>
You can also abbreviate commands and keywords by entering just enough characters to make the command unique from other commands. For example, you can abbreviate the show command to sh.
Whenever you make changes to the Cisco 3800 ERM configuration, you must save the changes to memory so they will not be lost if there is a system reload or power outage. There are two types of configuration files: the running (current operating) configuration and the startup configuration. The running configuration is stored in RAM; the startup configuration is stored in NVRAM.
To display the current running configuration, enter the show running-config command. Enter the copy running-config startup-config command to save the current running configuration to the startup configuration file in NVRAM.
3800-ERM>enable3800-ERM#copy running-config startup-config
To display the startup configuration, enter the show startup-config command. Enter the copy startup-config running-config command to write the startup configuration to the running configuration.
3800-ERM>enable3800-ERM#copy startup-config running-config
To erase both configuration files (and start over), enter the write erase and reload commands:
3800-ERM>enable3800-ERM#write erase3800-ERM#reload
![]() | Caution This command sequence will erase the entire Cisco 3800 ERM configuration in RAM and NVRAM and reload the Cisco 3800 ERM. |
