Chapter 2 Cfg File Development - Cisco 800 Design Manual

CFG File Development
This chapter describes how to develop a CFG file. The CFG file has the advantage of being able to
control the windows displayed to the end user and to test the connections. The disadvantage is that you
are limited to the scenarios supported by Cisco 800 Fast Step Setup.
The recommended procedure for developing CFG files is as follows:
Use Setup to draft the configuration.
Step 1
Save the drafted CFG file by using the Save File As window.
Step 2
Open the CFG file in a text editor.
Step 3
Change the parameters to the custom configurations.
Step 4
Save the file as Cisco 800 Fast Step CFG file. (This option is offered after you have developed the
Step 5
configuration.)
You can distribute the file by placing the CFG file:
In the country directory under the ServiceProvider directory and creating a custom Cisco 800 Fast
•
Step software installation. (If the required country directory is not present, a directory with the
countryname can be created and placed under the ServiceProvider directory. See Chapter 4,
"Custom Software Installation," for a list of country names.) The user is forced to the Select
Service Provider window where the file is displayed. (Creating a custom installation distribution is
described in the "Making a Custom Cisco 800 Fast Step CD-ROM" section of the "Custom
Software Installation" chapter.)
On a floppy disk for distribution, and instruct the end user to use Setup to select the file. The end
•
user can use a standard Cisco 800 Fast Step software installation.
On a file server for distribution, and instruct the end user to use Setup to download and select the
•
file. The end user can use a standard Cisco 800 Fast Step software installation.
In the installation directory, renamed as autoload.CFG. This file automatically loads when Setup is
•
started.
The result is that end users cable their routers, run Setup, select the configuration file, and they are done.
