C H A P T E R 2 Basic Configuration This chapter describes how to perform basic configuration of your Cisco Voice Gateway 200 (VG200) using the initial configuration dialog and the Cisco IOS command line interface (CLI). Basic configuration includes setting the host name and password and enabling the Fast Ethernet interface.

Chapter 2 Basic Configuration Voice Interface Configuration with the Intial Configuration Dialog Voice Interface Configuration with the Intial Configuration Dialog From this point on in the initial configuration dialog, the prompts you see vary depending on the network modules in your gateway. The following sections describe the steps for the optional interface modules that require additional configuration using the intitial configuration dialog.

Chapter 2 Basic Configuration Basic Configuration with the Cisco IOS CLI • For a list of command variables, enter the command followed by a space and a question mark, for example: VG200> show ? • To redisplay a command you previously entered, press the up arrow key. You can continue to press the up arrow key for more commands. Command Modes The Cisco IOS interface is divided into different modes. Each command mode permits you to configure different components on your gateway.

To exit to global configuration mode, use the exit command.
Chapter 2 Basic Configuration Configuring the Host Name and Password Note You can press Ctrl-Z in any mode to immediately return to privileged EXEC mode (router#), instead of entering exit, which returns you to the previous mode. Disabling a Command or Feature If you want to undo a command you entered or disable a feature, enter the keyword no before most commands; for example, no mgcp.
Chapter 2 Basic Configuration Configuring the Host Name and Password • Connect a terminal to the console port on the gateway. • Power on the gateway. • Wait for the Cisco IOS banner and other information messages to finish displaying.
Chapter 2 Basic Configuration Configuring the Host Name and Password Step 5 Enter line configuration mode by entering the following command from the EXEC mode prompt: VG200(config)# line con 0 When you enter line configuration mode, the prompt changes to router(config-line)#.
Chapter 2 Basic Configuration Configuring the Fast Ethernet Interface This saves the configuration changes to NVRAM so that they are not lost during resets, power cycles, or power outages. Configuring the Fast Ethernet Interface You can use the initial configuration dialog, as described earlier in this chapter, to configure the Fast Ethernet interface on your Cisco VG200 gateway.
Chapter 2 Basic Configuration Configuring the Fast Ethernet Interface Replace ipaddress with the IP address of the Fast Ethernet interface in dotted decimal format. Replace subnetmask with the subnet mask in use on the subnetwork connected to the Fast Ethernet interface.
Chapter 2 Basic Configuration Where to Go Next Where to Go Next At this point you can proceed to the following: • The Cisco IOS software configuration guide and command reference publications for more advanced configuration topics. These publications are available on the Documentation CD-ROM that came with your gateway, on the World Wide Web from Cisco’s home page, or you can order printed copies.
