The Cisco 2511 router configuration method is used as a port device to connect to the WAN. The router has been widely used. Its main function is to connect multiple independent networks or subnets, achieve optimal path finding and data transmission between the Internet. This article takes the Cisco 2511 vro as an example to introduce four router configuration methods. 1. using the Cisco router controller port COSOLE to connect VT100 and compatible terminals for configuration is a simple configuration method. After the terminal is reliably connected to the router, the power of the terminal and the router is turned on, the router startup process is displayed on the terminal. When the symbol ">" appears, you can configure the router on the terminal. If the vro startup process is not displayed on the terminal, it may be because the communication port parameter configuration is incorrect and you need to reconfigure it. 2. win 3. X or Windows 95 terminal simulation program configuration start Win 3.X, double-click "attachment" with the mouse, double-click "terminal simulation program", and click "Settings ", in the drop-down menu, choose "terminal simulation" DEC VT-100 [ANSI], "communication" select the parameter: baud rate: 9600; Data bit: 8; stop bit: 1; Parity: none; traffic control: Xon/Xoff; connection: COM1 or COM2 (depending on the actual connection ). After configuring the parameters above www.2cto.com, click File, click Save in the drop-down menu, name the configuration file, select the path, and click OK ". You only need to open the configuration file and press enter to enter the configuration of the vro. The configuration method of Win 95 is similar to that of Win 3.x. 3. on the TCP/IP network, perform terminal-based Telnet simulation to configure the Telnet terminal simulation program on UNIX, OS/2, Windows 95, and other operating systems, run telnet 145.1.1.5 (the IP address of the vro) on the network host, and enter the correct password to log on to the vro for configuration. If "password required, but none set" is displayed, it indicates that the password is not defined in vty 04 of the router and must be added. 4. using the configuration file downloaded by the TFTP Server to configure the UNIX and OS/2 Operating Systems provides the TFTP Server function. Taking OS/2 as an example, run ftfpd iN OS/2 DOS window: IBM TCP/IP OS/2-TFTP Server version 19:50:56 ON dEC 7 1995 is ready to log ON to the vro in the first three ways. When ">" appears, you can configure it. The following is a configuration instance. Router> en password: abcdefg (privileged user password) roture # copy ftfp runnig-config (copy the configuration file on the TFTP server to the running configuration of the vro) host or network configuration [host]? Host Address of remote host [255.255.255.255]? 145.1.1.1 (Host IP address) 145.1.1.1 is the server running TFTP and is also the host where the vro configuration file is located. If the prompt "There are no usable interface configured for ip" appears, it indicates that the Ethernet 0 (Ethernet port) of the router is not configured properly. Configure Ethernet 0: www.2cto.com router # conf t router (config) # int e0 router (config-if) ip address 145.1.1.5 router (config-if) # no shutdown router (config-if) # exit router (config) # exit router # wr (saved to startup configuration) Name of configuration [router-config]? 2511 (configuration file name) configure using 2511 from 145.1.1.1? [Confirm]: Loading 2511 from 145.1.1.1 (via Ethernet0) [OK-1553/32723 bytes] copy the running configuration to the startup configuration file NVRAM: router # copy runnig-config startup-config enter Router # I or re-enable the vro power to restart the vro. Back up the running configuration to the server: router # copy runnig-config ftfp Remote host [] 145.1.1.1 Name of configuration to write [router-config]? 2511bf write 2511bf on host 145.1.1.1? [Confirm]: Writing 2511bf !! [OK] Now, The vro configuration is complete.
