CHAPTER 5
Configure the Device
Before you begin this task, ensure that you have read and understood the safety warnings in the Safety with
Electricity section of the Safety Warnings handout.
This equipment is designed to boot up in less than 30 minutes, depending on its neighbouring devices that
must be fully up and running.
Note
Configuring the Cisco N540-24Q8L2DD-SYS involves these tasks:
• Create the Initial Router Configuration, on page 57
• Verify Device Installation, on page 59
Create the Initial Router Configuration
You must assign an IP address to the router management interface so that you can then connect the router to
the network.
When you initially power up the router, it boots up and asks a series of questions to help configure the router.
To enable you to connect the router to the network, you can use the default choices for each configuration
except for the IP address, which you must provide.
These routers are designed to boot up in less than 30 minutes, provided the neighboring devices are in full
operational state.
Note
Be aware of the router's unique name to identify it among the other devices in the network.
Note
Before you begin
• A console device must be connected with the router.
• The router must be connected to a power source.
