Almost. You can use the same config, but the interfaces are numbered differently and you can simply edit the file to match the interface numbers. Also, don't forget to add &quot;no shut&quot; under the interfaces config.<br />
Example:<br />
1721:<br />
&nbsp;Interface Fast 0<br />
&nbsp; ip address x.x.x.x<br />
&nbsp;interface Serial 0<br />
<br />
1800:<br />
&nbsp;interface Fast 0/0<br />
&nbsp; ip address x.x.x.x<br />
&nbsp; no shut<br />
&nbsp;interface Serial 0/0/0<br />
&nbsp; no shut<br />

If I had an outside vendor make this change, how much time would such a change take and will any other equipment need to be programmed or will I just need to program the new router?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

We have a CISCO 1721 router in our location whcih connects the dept to the the main office via VPN, the dept head purchased a 1841 Cisco router and now wants this to replace the existing router.<br />
<br />
The current router works fine, are the configuration scrips compatible between both routers? Can I backup the scripts from one router to the other, is there any information available here whcih can be used as a guide to make these changes.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Cisco 1721 to 1841 upgrade are the scripts compatible?

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
