Install Modules

Installing a Network Module

Use this procedure, if required, to install any network module in a Cisco 3660 router.

Look for a network module in the slots on the rear panel of the router. If there are network modules already installed, connect the modules to your network using the appropriate cables.

If you need to install a network module, follow this procedure:

    1. Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws that hold the metal filler panel over the network module slot and remove the filler panel.

    2. Hold the network module by the handle and line the module up with the guides on either side of the slot.

    3. Push the module into place until the edge connector is securely seated in the connector on the backplane. Ensure that each of the module's captive screws lines up with its hole in the chassis.

    4. Secure the captive mounting screws into the holes of the chassis using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver.

    5. Connect the appropriate network module cable(s) to your network.

For information on connecting network modules, refer to the Cisco Network Modules Hardware Installation Guide included in your router package.



Install Modules (continued)

Installing a WAN
Interface Card

Use this procedure, if required, to install a WAN interface card in your Cisco 3660 router.

Look for a WAN interface card in a network module installed in your router. If there is a WAN interface card already installed, connect the card to the WAN line using the appropriate cable.

If you need to install a WAN interface card, follow this procedure:

    1. Use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws that hold the filler panel over the WAN card slot and remove the filler panel.

    2. Hold the WAN interface card by its edges and line the card up with the guides on either side of the slot.

    3. Insert the card in the slot and push in until it is firmly seated in the connector and the card's front panel is flush with the network module.

    4. Use the number 2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the captive screws that hold the card in place.

    5. Connect the card to the WAN line using the appropriate cable(s).

Connect Cables

Connect the LAN Cable(s)

Position the router so you can reach the rear panel. The cables and the router's ports are color coded to help you make the right connections.

Depending on your router model, connect your router to one or two LANs. Your router has one or two built-in Fast Ethernet LAN connections.

Connect the Fast Ethernet Cable(s)

    1. Connect the yellow Ethernet cable to the
    yellow 10/100BaseT port labeled
    10/100 ETHERNET 0/0 on the rear panel of your router.

    2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet hub or switch (not supplied).

    3. If your router model uses dual Fast Ethernet LANs, repeat steps 1 and 2 for the second Ethernet LAN connection (10/100 ETHERNET 0/1).

Connect Cables (continued)

Connect the Console Cable

    1. Connect the light-blue console cable to the light-blue port labeled CONSOLE on the rear panel of the router.

    2. Connect the other end of the light-blue console cable to an RJ-45 adapter.

    3. Attach the adapter to a serial port on a terminal or PC running emulation software to allow router configuration.



Connect Cables (continued)

Connect AC Power and
Turn On the Router

    1. Connect the black power cord to the receptacle on the power supply at the rear of the router.

    2. Connect the other end of the power cord to the electrical outlet.

    3. If your router has a second power supply installed, repeat steps 1 and 2 for the second power supply.

    4. Turn ON the router by pressing the ON/OFF switch on each installed power supply.

The following LEDs should light up:

Your router is now operational.

You are now finished with physical installation of the router. For additional installation and troubleshooting information, refer to the Cisco 3600 Series Hardware Installation Guide included in your router package.

To configure your router, see the "Run Setup" section.

Run Setup

You can configure your router manually using the setup script in the System Configuration Dialog. The setup script prompts you to enter values appropriate for your router and network. Many prompts include default answers, shown in square brackets following the question. Enter your response, or press Return to accept the default answer.


Note You can request help at any time by entering a question mark (?) at a setup prompt. If you make a mistake, you can exit and run the System Configuration Dialog again. Press Ctrl-c, and type setup at the privileged EXEC mode (enable) prompt (3660#).

See the Software Configuration Guide (for Cisco 3600 series and Cisco 2600 series routers) for complete information on using the setup script to configure the router.

Step 1 Connect a console to your router. If you need help, see the "Connect the Console Cable" section.

Step 2 Power ON the router.

Messages will begin to appear in your terminal emulation program window.

Caution
Do not press any keys on the keyboard until the messages stop. Any keys pressed during this time are interpreted as the first command typed. It will take a few minutes for the messages to stop.

The beginnings of the messages look similar to the following.


Note The messages vary, depending on the Cisco IOS software release and feature set you selected. The screen displays in this section are for reference only and might not exactly reflect the messages on your screen.
    System Bootstrap, Version 12.0(5)T, PLATFORM SPECIFIC RELEASED SOFTWARE (fc1)
    Copyright (c) 1999 by cisco Systems, Inc.
    C3660 platform with 32768 Kbytes of main memory
     
    <Additional messages omitted.>
     
    

Step 3 When the following prompt appears, press Return to accept the default entry (yes) in square brackets:

    Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes]:
     
    At any point you may enter a question mark '?' for help.
    Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt.
    Default settings are in square brackets '[]'.
     
    



Run Setup (continued)

Step 4 When the following prompt appears, press Return to see the current interface summary:

    First, would you like to see the current interface summary? [yes]: 
     
    Any interface listed with OK? value "NO" does not have a valid configuration
     
    Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
    Ethernet0/0 unassignedNO  unset    up up
    Ethernet0/1 unassignedNO  unset    up up
    Serial1/0 unassignedNO  unset    up down
    Serial1/1 unassignedNO  unset    up down
    Serial1/2 unassignedNO  unset    up down
    Serial1/3 unassignedNO  unset    up down
     
    <Additional messages omitted.>
     
    

Step 5 Enter a host name for the router (this example uses 3660):

    Configuring global parameters:
     
      Enter host name [Router]: 3660
     
    The enable secret is a password used to protect access to privileged EXEC and configuration modes. This password, after entered, becomes encrypted in the configuration.
     
    

Step 6 Enter an enable secret password. This password is encrypted (more secure) and cannot be seen when viewing the configuration:

    Enter enable secret: xxxx
     
    The enable password is used when there is no enable secret and when using older software and some boot images.
     
    

Step 7 Enter an enable password that is different from the enable secret password. This password is not encrypted (less secure) and can be seen when viewing the configuration:

    Enter enable password: guessme
     
    The virtual terminal password is used to protect access to the router over a network interface. 
     
    

Step 8 Enter the virtual terminal password, which prevents unauthenticated access to the router through ports other than the console port:

      Enter virtual terminal password: guessagain
     
    



Run Setup (continued)

Step 9 Respond to the following prompts as appropriate for your network:

    Configure SNMP Network Management? [yes]:
        Community string [public]:
      Configure LAT? [no]:
      Configure AppleTalk? [no]: yes
        Multizone networks? [no]: yes
      Configure DECnet? [no]:
      Configure IP? [yes]:
        Configure IGRP routing? [yes]:
          Your IGRP autonomous system number [1]: 15
    

Note If you answer no to IGRP, you will be prompted to configure RIP.
      Configure CLNS? [no]:
      Configure IPX? [no]: yes
    Configure Vines? [no]: 
       Configure XNS? [no]: 
       Configure Apollo? [no]: 
       Configure bridging? [no]: 
     
    

Step 10 From this point on in the setup script, the prompts you see vary depending on the interface modules installed in your router. Complete the setup steps for your router interface modules. (Refer to the Software Configuration Guide included in your router package.)

When you have completed the initial configuration dialog, messages appear describing the configuration command script.

Step 11 A setup script prompt asks if you want to save this configuration. If you answer no, the configuration information you entered is not saved, and you return to the Cisco 3660 router enable prompt (3660#). Type setup to return to the System Configuration Dialog.

If you answer yes, the configuration is saved and you are returned to the router prompt (3660>) (prompt depends on host name variable).

    Use this configuration? [yes/no]: yes
    Building configuration...
    Use the enabled mode 'configure' command to modify this configuration.
    Press RETURN to get started!
