4-4 Cisco Multiport Router Installation and Configuration Guide
Configuring the Router
To make your changes permanent, enter the copy running-config startup-config
command at the enable prompt:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
The results of the show running-config and show startup-config commands differ if you
have made changes to the configuration but have not yet written them to NVRAM.
The router is now configured and will boot with the configuration you have entered.
Using AutoInstall
The AutoInstall process is designed to configure the multiport serial router automatically
after connection to the WAN. In order for AutoInstall to work properly, a Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) host on the network must be preconfigured to
provide the required configuration files. The TCP/IP host can exist anywhere on the
network providing the following two conditions are maintained:
1 The host must be on the remote side of the multiport serial router’s synchronous serial
connection to the WAN.
2 User Datagram Protocol (UDP) broadcasts to and from the multiport serial router and
the TCP/IP host must be enabled.
Refer to the configuration guide for additional information.
Note AutoInstall only works on synchronous serial connections.
Take the following steps to prepare your multiport serial router for the AutoInstall process:
Step 1 Attach the synchronous serial cable to the router.
Step 2 Turn ON power to the router.
The router loads the operating system image from Flash memory. If the remote
end of the WAN connection is connected and properly configured, the AutoInstall
process begins.
