Initial Config

Hello,
I'm working with a cisco 2800 series router, It's plugerd into a new T1 line, and I need to put in the config info for the switch. I have a configuration in a txt file, but not too sure how to put the info in. I'm all set up through the console port w/ hypertem ready to go (just need to flip the power). Is this just the act of actually typing in the info given to me in the txt, or do I need to know the correct commands? I am familiar with cisco switches, and have done plenty of work in IOS with the swwitches, but never w/ routers. Does this sound like I'm in too derep and need the engineer to do this for me? I'm a really fast learner with these things.

get a copy of putty.... http://www.putty.org/

Login to the router
open the txt file and select all then hit ctrl + C to copy it all to the clipboard
right click the mouse in the putty window and watch it fill in. ;)

Follow Share-IT's recommendation to run putty...way more reliable than HyperTerminal for doing this type of work.

Sounds good, since I am familiar with IOS I'm going for it, also, I am going to use Putty as opposed to Hyperterm.

I have an entire config txt sent from an engineer with the company supplying us with the T1 and other services (VoIP carrier). When I paste in the config, then go back through, I do find multiple error markers, but i think I need to take that up with the engineers.

Global config is essentially hostname(config)# correct?

arsaif

yes, Right, bcaz most probably command they send you will be related to that mode only. Try this, if you still get error on any command, do let us know. We will figure our something.

you could cheat. Assuming the 2800s have a flash card, if you remove the card and put into a standard flash reader (like the one for digital cameras) just copy the text file to the card. Once the file is copied, stick it back into the router and type...

copy config.txt start

So when I put in the config file, the following lines give error markers:

NP/RL-RTR(config)#mmi polling-interval 60
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

NP/RL-RTR(config)#no mmi auto-configure
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

NP/RL-RTR(config)#no mmi pvc

NP/RL-RTR(config)#mmi snmp-timeout 180

NP/RL-RTR(config-if)#interface Serial0/0

^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

The markers them selfs don't line up correctly outside of putty, but these are the lines causing problems.

Awesome, thats all I needed actually! I had the suspicion I needed to be in a different mode for those commands that weren't working. Thanks Everyone for the help provided!
