Hi Ajay,

the basic configuration of Router or a Cisco running IOS or CatOS is setting up the Telnet Password,Enable Password & the IP address for managing the device.

ITz simply for a basic configuration, find the configuration below, b4 that you u need to connect the console cable between ur PC(on the serial port(com port) & the console port(located mostly back side of the Router/Switch), then change the Com port settingz in the Hyper Terminal in ur PC.

Bits Per second : 9600

Data bits : 8

Parity : None

Stop bits : 1

Flow control : None

then once ur done, then you will take in the Router/Switch Prompt, then go head with the configuration

eg.

router>enable

router#configure terminal

router(config)#line vty 0 4

router(config-line)#password

router(config-line)#login

router(config-line)exit

router(config)#enable secret

router(config)#interface ethernet 0

router(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

router(config-if)#exit or press Ctrl+Z

router#

now u have done the basic configuration & juz plug in the router in to ur network & start login.

where line vty 0 4 is the telnet interface
