Reconnecting to the Router After Initial Configuration
If you gave the router LAN interface a new IP address as recommended, you will
lose your connection to the router after you deliver the configuration.
Follow this procedure to reconnect to the router after performing initial
configuration with Cisco SDM Express.
Step 1 Place the PC on the same subnet as the router’s LAN interface.
• If you configured the router as a DHCP server, you must configure the PC to
obtain an IP address automatically, and then open a command window and
enter the ipconfig /release command followed by the ipconfig /renew
command.
• If the router is not configured as a DHCP server, you must give the PC a static
IP address in the same subnet as the router. For example, if you changed the
LAN IP address to 10.20.20.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.224, you
would give your PC an IP address between 10.20.20.2 and 10.20.20.30, and
use the same subnet value
Step 2 If you configured a different LAN interface than the default interface, be sure to
connect your PC to the LAN interface that you configured. For example, if you
configured FE 0/1 and not FE 0/0 as the LAN interface, be sure to connect you PC
to FE 0/1.
Step 3 After preparing the PC, reconnect your PC to the router by entering the new IP
address that you gave the router’s LAN interface in the browser (http://new IP
address). For example, if you changed the LAN IP address to 10.20.20.1, you
would enter http://10.20.20.1 in the web browser to connect to your router again.
