Preface
This preface discusses the objectives, audience, organization, and conventions of this software configuration
guide and where to get the latest version of this guide.
This preface presents the following major topics:
Objectives
After installing the Cisco VG400 Voice Gateway, use this guide to complete a basic router configuration
using the setup command facility.
This guide also contains information on using the Cisco IOS software to perform other configuration tasks,
such as configuring voice ports and other features.
This guide does not provide complete configuration instructions. Refer to the Cisco IOS configuration guides
and command references for detailed configuration instructions. These publications are available on the
Documentation CD-ROM that came with your router and on Cisco.com. See the Obtain the Documentation
and Submit a Service Request section for more information.
Intended Audience
This publication is designed for users who are responsible for configuring Cisco routers. This guide is intended
primarily for the following audiences:
• Customers with technical networking background and experience.
• System administrators who are familiar with the fundamentals of router-based internetworking, but who
might not be familiar with Cisco IOS software.
• System administrators who are responsible for installing and configuring internetworking equipment,
and who are familiar with Cisco IOS software.

CHAPTER 1
Understanding Interface Numbering and Cisco
IOS Software Basics
This chapter provides an overview of interface numbering in the Cisco VG400 Voice Gateway (VG). This
chapter also describes how to use the Cisco IOS software commands.
This chapter consists of the following major topics:
•Understanding Cisco IOS Software Basics, on page 1
•Upgrading to a New Cisco IOS Release, on page 3
•Where to Go Next, on page 3
Understanding Cisco IOS Software Basics
This section describes what you need to know about the Cisco IOS software before you configure the router
using the CLI. Understanding these concepts will save time as you begin to use the commands. If you have
never used Cisco IOS software or need a refresher, take a few minutes to read this chapter before you proceed
to the next chapter.
If you are already familiar with Cisco IOS software, proceed to the Configuring the Host Name and Password,
on page 5 section.
This chapter includes the following:
Getting Help
Use the question mark (?) and arrow keys to help you enter commands:
• For a list of available commands, enter a question mark:
Router> ?
• To complete a command, enter a few known characters followed by a question mark (with no space):
Router> s?
• For a list of command variables, enter the command followed by a space and a question mark:
Router> 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 user interface is divided into different modes. Each command mode permits you to configure
different components on your router. The commands available at any given time depend on which mode you
are currently in. Entering a question mark (?) at the prompt displays a list of commands available for each
command mode. The following table lists the most common command modes.
Table 1: Common Command Modes
Exit MethodRouter Prompt
Displayed
Access MethodCommand Mode
Use the logout command.Router>Log in.User EXEC
To exit to user EXEC mode, use
the disable,exit, or logout
command.
Router#From user EXEC mode, enter
the enable command.
Privileged EXEC
To exit to privileged EXEC mode,
use the exit or end command, or
press Ctrl-Z.
Router (config)#From the privileged EXEC
mode, enter the configure
terminal command.
Global
configuration
To exit to global configuration
mode, use the exit command.
To exit directly to privileged EXEC
mode, press Ctrl-Z.
Router
(config-if)#
From the global configuration
mode, enter the GigabitEthernet
interface command such as,
gigabitethernet0/0.
Interface
configuration
Each command mode restricts you to a subset of commands. If you are having trouble entering a command,
check the prompt, and enter the question mark (?) for a list of available commands. You might be in the wrong
command mode or be using the wrong syntax.
Timesaver
In the following example, notice how the prompt changes after each command, to indicate a new command
mode for Cisco vg400:
Router> enable
Password: <enable password>
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 0/0/0
Router#
%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by console
The last message is normal and does not indicate an error. Press Return to get the Router# prompt.
Press Ctrl-Z in any mode to immediately return to enable mode ( Router# ), instead of entering exit, which
returns you to the previous mode.

Command Modes

Undoing 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 ip routing.
Saving Configuration Changes
Enter the copy running-config startup-config command to save your configuration changes to nonvolatile
random-access memory (NVRAM). Doing so ensures that the changes are not lost if there is a system reload
or power outage. For example:
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Building configuration...
It might take a minute or two to save the configuration to NVRAM. After the configuration has been saved,
the screen displays the following:
[OK]
Router#
Upgrading to a New Cisco IOS Release
To install or upgrade to a new Cisco IOS release, see How to Update or Upgrade Cisco IOS Software .
Where to Go Next
Now that you have learned some Cisco IOS software basics, you can begin to configure the router using the
CLI.
Remember that:
• You can use the question mark (?) and arrow keys to help you enter commands.
• Each command mode restricts you to a set of commands. If you have difficulty entering a command,
check the prompt and then enter the question mark (?) for a list of available commands. You might be
in the wrong command mode or be using the wrong syntax.
• To disable a feature, enter the keyword no before the command. For example, no ip routing.
• Save your configuration changes to NVRAM so the changes are not lost if there is a system reload or
power outage.
Proceed to Configuring the Host Name and Password, on page 5 to begin configuring the router.
