Set Up the Router

Set Up the Router

To set up the router, perform the following tasks:

1. Plug your router into a power socket.
   

2. If necessary, power on the router. (Cisco 1003, Cisco 1004, and Cisco 1005 routers do not have a power switch.) Allow the router to warm up for about 2 minutes.
   

3. Make sure that your PC and the router are connected to each other using the proper Ethernet cables.
   

4. If you are configuring a new router, skip this step.
   If you are reconfiguring a router taht already has a working configuration file, save the configuration file in a text file on your PC. Then issue an erase startup-config command and restart the router.
   

Continue with the next step in the process.
