Troubleshooting Guide

Here is a screen capture of a Cisco IOS Command Center page for a Cisco AS5300 running Cisco IOS

Software Release 12.0(7) T. This is meant to be an example, so the links are not active.

Note: For interfaces with slot/port format (for example, fastethernet 3/0), ensure that the html source code

includes an extra back slash (\) before the port number. The back slash disregards the next character (in this

case, a slash) as being a command and passes it. The source code should look like this:

http://172.22.200.1/exec/show/interface/fastethernet/3\/0/cr

When the Cisco IOS Command Center is configured on your system, here is an example of what appears

when you select the show running config command link.

Configuring the Router

Follow these steps to configure your router for the Cisco IOS Command Center:

Telnet to the router and enter enable mode.

maui−nas−05>en

Password:

maui−nas−05#

Use the show running−config command in enable mode to verify that the username to be used for

the web interface has privilege level 15. Use the following command syntax to add a user with

privilege level 15:

username <username> password privilege 15 <password>

Configure the router to accept http commands. Be sure to turn on authentication to restrict access to

the Cisco IOS Command Center. Issue the following commands in global configuration mode:

ip http server

ip http authentication local

If you have Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) configured, you can replace local

with AAA, enable, or tacacs in the example command line above.

Installing the Cisco IOS Command Center

The Cisco IOS Command Center may be installed either on a WWW server on the same network as the router

or on the router itself. The web server installation allows you to make easy changes to the web pages. The

router installation requires erasing the Flash to make changes to the Cisco IOS Command Center on several

pieces of Cisco equipment.

Verifying Flash Memory Capacity and Configuring the Router

Follow these steps to verify that your router has enough memory and set the configuration.

Run the show flash command to verify that enough memory exists and write protection is not

enabled.
