Router Boot Sequence and Setup Mode 559 Router LED Indicators Cisco routers use light-emitting diode (LED) indicators to provide status information. Depending on the Cisco router model, the LED indicators vary. The upper LED on the daughter card indicates the activity on serial 1 port on the daughter card. The lower LED on the daughter card indicates the activity of the WAN, or BRI port. Figures 11-2 and 11-3 illustrate the router LED indicators. Do you want to configure Serial1 interface?

If the LED is not on when the interface is active, and the interface is correctly connected, this might indicate a problem. If an interface is extremely busy, its LED is always on. The green OK LED on the bottom of both WAN interface cards comes on after the system initializes correctly. Initial Router Boot-Up Output Each time a router is powered on, it goes through the following boot sequence: 1. The router goes through POST diagnostics to verify basic operation of the CPU, memory, and interfaces.

To verify that the system bootstrap software is loaded correctly, the boot image executes and searches for a valid Cisco IOS Software image (router operating system software). The source of the Cisco IOS Software image, whether a Flash memory or a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server, is determined by the configuration register setting. The factory-default setting for the configuration register is 0x2102. This indicates that the router should attempt to load a Cisco IOS Software image from Flash memory. 3. If after five attempts a valid Cisco IOS Software image is not found in Flash memory, the router reverts to boot ROM mode. This mode is used to install or upgrade a Cisco IOS Software image. 4. If a valid Cisco IOS Software image is found, the router searches for a valid configuration file. 5. If a valid configuration file is not found in NVRAM, the router searches for a TFTP server over all interfaces. If a configuration file is not found, the router runs the system configuration dialog so a configuration can be manually configured. In Examples 11-6 and 11-7, the messages displayed vary, depending on the interfaces in the router and the Cisco IOS release. The screen displays in this graphic are for ref- erence only and might not exactly reflect the screen displays on the console. Notice in Example 11-6 that the NVRAM is invalid; this is possibly because of write erase. This tells the user that the router has not been configured for the first time or that the NVRAM has been erased. A router cannot be used until it is configured.

The user also can determine the router model, the processor, and the amount of memory that the router contains. Other information listed in this output includes the following information and is shown in Example 11-8: ■ How many interfaces the router has ■ What types of interfaces the router has ■ The amount of NVRAM ■ The amount of Flash memory Establishing a HyperTerminal Session All Cisco routers include an EIA/TIA-232 asynchronous serial console port (RJ-45). Cables and adapters are needed to connect a console terminal (an ASCII terminal or PC running terminal emulation software) to the console port. To connect a PC running terminal emulation software to the console port, use the RJ-45–to–RJ-45 rollover cable with a female RJ-45–to–DB-9 or RJ-45–to–DB-25 adapter.

The console port does not support hardware flow control. Take the following steps to connect a terminal to the console port on the router: Step 1 Connect the terminal or PC using the RJ-45–to–RJ-45 rollover cable and an RJ-45–to–DB-9 or RJ-45–to–DB-25 adapter. Step 2 Configure the terminal or PC terminal emulation software for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. Figure 11-4 shows an example of the console connection to a PC, to establish a Hyper- Terminal connection with a PC. Table 11-1 shows a list of operating systems and the terminal emulation software that can be used with each operating system.

NOTE If you are using a crossover cable at this end, the other end must be straight- through or something similar. 1102.book Page 563 Tuesday, May 20, 2003 2:53 PM 564 Chapter 11: Router Fundamentals Figure 11-4 Terminal Console Cable Console Port Connection (RJ-45) RJ-45 Roll-Over Cable RJ-45-to-DB-25 Adapter IO Card Router PC 1102.book Page 564 Tuesday, May 20, 2003 2:53 PM Logging into the Router 565 Logging into the Router To configure Cisco routers, the user interface must be accessed on the router with a ter- minal or by remote access. When accessing a router, a user must log into the router before any other commands are entered. For security purposes, the router has two levels of access to commands, as demonstrated by Example 11-9: ■ User EXEC mode—Typical tasks include those that check the router status. In this mode, router configuration changes are not allowed. ■ Privileged EXEC mode—Typical tasks include those that change the router configuration. The user EXEC mode prompt is displayed upon login to a router. Commands available at this user level are a subset of the commands available at the privileged EXEC level. For the most part, these commands enable a user to display information without changing router configuration settings. To access the full set of commands, privileged EXEC mode must be entered. At the > prompt, type enable. At the password prompt, enter the password that has been set with the enable secret command. When the login steps have been completed, the prompt changes to a #, to indicate that you are now in privileged EXEC mode. From privileged EXEC mode, global configuration mode and other specific modes, including the fol- lowing, can be accessed: ■ Interface (central_2(config-if)#) ■ Subinterface (central_2(config-subif)# ■ Line (central_2(config-line)#) ■ Router (central_2(config-router)#) ■ Route-map (central_2(config-map-class)#) Example 11-9 Router Modes Router> User Mode Router>enable Password: Router# Privileged-Mode Router>disable Router> User Mode Privileged-Mode 1102.book Page 565 Tuesday, May 20, 2003 2:53 PM 566 Chapter 11: Router Fundamentals To return to user EXEC mode, type disable. To log out of the router, type exit. Screen output varies with the specific Cisco IOS Software level and router configuration. Keyboard Help Typing a question mark (?) at the user EXEC mode prompt or the privileged EXEC mode prompt displays a list of available commands, as demonstrated in Example 11-7. Notice the More at the bottom of the sample display. The screen displays 22 lines at one time. The More prompt at the bottom of the display indicates that multiple screens are available as output. Whenever a More prompt appears, you can view the next available screen by pressing the spacebar. To display just the next line, press the Enter key. Press any other key to return to the prompt. More Information: Basic Operation of Cisco IOS Software The Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS) Software platform is implemented on the various hardware used in this course. It is the embedded software architecture in all the Cisco routers. Cisco IOS Software enables the following network services in these products: ■ Features to carry the chosen network protocols and functions ■ Connectivity for high-speed traffic between devices ■ Security to control access and discourage unauthorized network use ■ Scalability to add interfaces and capability as needed for network growth ■ Reliability to ensure dependable access to networked resources The Cisco IOS Software command-line interface (CLI) can be accessed through a console con- nection, a modem connection, or a Telnet session. Regardless of which connection method is used, access to the IOS command-line interface generally is referred to as an EXEC session. Example 11-10 Keyboard Help ?
