Note Cisco strongly recommends that inexperienced network administrators use the Cisco 805 Fast Step software to configure sample networks 1, 2, and 5. The Cisco 805 Fast Step software might configure the sample networks differently than is described in this guide.

The Cisco 805 Fast Step software is a Windows 95, Windows NT, and Windows 98 based configuration tool included with the Cisco 805 router. For more information, refer to the Cisco 805 Fast Step CD-ROM.

For more information on configuring your router using the CLI, continue reading this chapter.

Before Configuring Networks

Refer to Table 3-2 to determine what you need to do before configuring each network.


Table 3-2: Before Configuring Networks
Number WAN Options/
Encapsulation
What You Must Do1, 2

1

Leased line, HDLC

  • Network administrators from corporate and remote offices:

    • Set up IP address scheme.

    • Decide which IP routing protocol to use.

  • Network administrator from corporate office must order leased line from WAN service provider.

2

Leased line, PPP

  • Network administrators from corporate and remote offices:

    • Set up IP and IPX address scheme.

    • Decide which IP routing protocol to use.

  • Network administrator from corporate office must order leased line from WAN service provider.

3

X.25

  • Network administrators from corporate and remote offices:

    • Set up IP and IPX address scheme.

    • Decide which IP routing protocol to use.

  • Network administrator from corporate office must order X.25 connection from WAN service provider. Also, ask the WAN service provider to provide the following:

    • X.25 address for remote office and corporate office router serial interfaces

    • X.25 window size

    • X.25 packet size

4

Dial-up line, PPP

  • Network administrators from corporate and remote offices:

    • Set up IP and IPX address scheme.

    • Decide which IP routing protocol to use.

    • Decide which PPP authentication type to use.

    After deciding which PPP authentication type to use, you must decide on a PPP client name and password to access the router.

    • Provide telephone number assigned to the remote office router serial interface to the corporate office network administrator and vice versa.

  • Network administrator from corporate office must order dial-up line from WAN service provider.

5

Frame Relay

  • Network administrators from corporate and remote offices:

    • Set up IP and IPX address scheme.

    • Decide which IP routing protocol to use.

  • Network administrator from corporate office:

    • Order two permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) from WAN service provider. Provider should assign two data link connection identifiers (DLCIs) for each PVC.

    • Ask WAN service provider to provide Local Management Interface (LMI) type.

1For a comparison of IP Routing Information Protocol (RIP) and IP Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP), refer to the "Selecting IP Routing Protocols" section in "Concepts."
2For a comparison of Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) or Password Authentication Protocol (PAP), refer to the "Selecting PPP Authentication Protocol" section in "Concepts."

Network 1: Leased Line, HDLC

Figure 3-4: Sample X.25 Network


Network 4: Dial-up Line, PPP

Figure 3-5 shows a sample remote office network connected to a corporate office network with an asynchronous dial-up line running PPP. This sample network uses IP and IPX as the routed protocols. Instead of using dynamic routing protocols such as IP and IPX RIP to learn the route to the corporate network, this network uses static IP and IPX routes, which are user-defined routes to the corporate network.

This sample network uses the dial-on-demand routing (DDR) implementation of dialer profiles. For more information, refer to the "Dialer Profiles" section in "Concepts."


Figure 3-5: Network 4


You can also configure the Cisco 805 router as a DHCP server. (The DHCP server feature is part of Easy IP [Phase 2]). A DHCP server allocates IP addresses from a central pool to DHCP clients on the remote office network.

Network 5: Frame Relay

Figure 3-6 shows a sample remote-office-to-corporate-office network that uses Frame Relay. This sample network uses IP and IPX as the routed protocols and IP and IPX RIP to learn the routes to the corporate network.


Figure 3-6:
Network 5


This sample network uses a partially meshed Frame Relay topology, which means that each router is not directly connected to every other router. In this network, the remote office routers are not directly connected. However, serial interface 0 on the corporate office router is divided into virtual subinterfaces so that the remote office routers can communicate through the corporate office router. Each subinterface has a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) associated with it. For more information on partially meshed topologies, subinterfaces, and PVCs, refer to the Cisco IOS Release 12.0 documentation set.

The corporate network also has a PC or workstation that runs DHCP (a DHCP server). The DHCP server provides IP addresses to LAN devices on the remote networks (DHCP clients). You can set up the DHCP relay feature on the Cisco 805 router so that it relays DHCP client requests for IP addresses from the LAN interface, over the serial interface, and to the DHCP server. The DHCP relay feature is part of Easy IP (Phase 2).

Configuring the Cisco 805 Routers

To configure the features for this sample network, perform the tasks described in the following sections on a PC. A sample configuration file that illustrates how to configure the network is presented after the tasks.

After your router boots, the following prompt displays. Enter no.

Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog [yes]: no
