Configuring the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers at Startup
You need to acquire the correct network addresses from your system administrator or consult your
Note
network plan to determine correct addresses before you can complete the router configuration.
Before continuing the configuration process, check the current state of the router by entering the show
version command. The show version command displays the release of Cisco IOS software that is
available on the router.
For information on modifying the configuration after you create it, see the Cisco IOS configuration and
command reference guides.
To configure a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers from the console, you must connect a terminal or
terminal server to the console port on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series RP1. To configure the Cisco ASR 1000
