Cisco 2800 Series Software Configuration Documentation
Unlike traditional documentation, wherein all of the information appears within one printed book, the
Cisco 2800 series routers software configuration documentation takes advantage of the capabilities
inherent in web-based presentation. This includes extensive hyperlinking to other information, tools, and
many other resources on Cisco.com.
Instead of chapters, each topic area can be accessed independently. At the top level, available at
“Cisco 2800 Series Software Configuration,” the main software configuration topics include:
•
Basic Software Configuration
–
Basic Software Configuration Using the Setup Command Facility
–
Basic Software Configuration Using the Cisco IOS Command-Line Interface
•
Finding Feature Documentation
•
Configuration Examples
•
Troubleshooting and Maintenance
–
Upgrading the System Image
–
Using CompactFlash Memory Cards
–
Using the ROM Monitor
–
Changing the Configuration Register Settings
–
Troubleshooting Links
Note
Besides the setup facility and the IOS command-line interface, a third way of configuring Cisco routers
is through the Cisco Router and Security Device Manager. Additional information about SDM features,
is available at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/go/sdm
