Creating a Site Log

Creating a Site Log
The Site Log provides a record of all actions relevant to the router. Keep it near the chassis
where anyone who installs or maintains the router has access to it. Use the Installation
Checklist (see the previous section, "Installation Checklist") to verify steps in the
installation and maintenance of your router. Site Log entries might include the following:
•
Installation progress—Make a copy of the Installation Checklist and insert it into the
Site Log. Make entries on the checklist as you complete each procedure.
•
Upgrade and maintenance procedures—Use the Site Log as a record of ongoing system
maintenance and expansion. Each time a procedure is performed on the router, update
the Site Log to reflect the following:
— Configuration changes
— Changes and updates to Cisco IOS software
— Maintenance schedules and requirements
— Corrective maintenance procedures performed
— Intermittent problems
— Related comments and notes

Preparing to Connect to a Network
