 Configuring Gigabit Ethernet WAN Interfaces
You can connect WAN interfaces either by using straight polarity connectors or reversed polarity connectors.
 Straight Polarity: If Mag-jack RJ45 connector has a dot or digit marked on front housing, it can be used with any type
of cables.
 Reversed Polarity: If Mag-jack RJ45 connector has no dots or digit marked on front housing, it can be used with
coupler and short cable (Cat5E UTP cable) to connect other devices which doesn’t support auto polarity correction.
To configure Gigabit Ethernet (GE) WAN interfaces, follow these steps, beginning in global configuration mode.

Configuring a Loopback Interface
The loopback interface acts as a placeholder for the static IP address and provides default routing information.
To configure a loopback interface, follow these steps, beginning in global configuration mode.

Router(config-if)# exit configuration mode.
Example: Configuring the Loopback Interface
The loopback interface in this sample configuration is used to support Network Address Translation (NAT) on the virtual-
template interface. This configuration example shows the loopback interface configured on the gigabit ethernet interface with an
IP address of 200.200.100.1/24, which acts as a static IP address. The loopback interface points back to virtual-template1, which
has a negotiated IP address.
!interface loopback 0ip address 200.200.100.1 255.255.255.0ip nat outside!interface Virtual-Template1ip unnumbered

Verifying the Loopback Interface Configuration
 To verify that you have properly configured the loopback interface, enter the show interface loopback command as shown in the
following example.

Configuring Static Routes
Static routes provide fixed routing paths through the network. They are manually configured on the router. If the network
topology changes, the static route must be updated with a new route. Static routes are private routes unless they are redistributed
by a routing protocol.
To configure static routes, perform these steps in global configuration mode.
SUMMARY STEPS
1.  configure terminal
2.  ip route prefix mask { ip-address | interface-type interface-number [ ip-address ]}
3.  end
DETAILED STEPS
 
Command Purpose
Step configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
1 Example:
Router# configure terminal
Step ip route prefix mask { ip-address | interface- Specifies the static route for the IP
2 type interface-number [ ip-address ]} packets.
Example:
 Router(config)# ip route
192.168.1.0 255.255.0.0
10.10.10.2
 
Step end Exits router configuration mode,
3 Example: and enters privileged EXEC mode.
Router(config)# end
 
Example: Configuring Static Routes
In the following configuration example, the static route sends out all IP packets with a destination IP address of 192.168.1.0 and a
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 on the Gigabit Ethernet interface to another device with an IP address of 10.10.10.2. Specifically,
the packets are sent to the configured PVC.
You do not need to enter the command marked “(default).” This command appears automatically in the configuration file
generated when you use the show running-config command.
!ip classless (default)ip route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.2! 
Verifying Configuration
To verify that you have properly configured static routing, enter the show ip route command and look for static routes signified
by the “S.”
You should see verification output similar to the following:
Router# show ip routeCodes: C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGPD - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O -

Configuring Dynamic Routes
In dynamic routing, the network protocol adjusts the path automatically, based on network traffic or topology. Changes in
dynamic routes are shared with other routers in the network.
The Cisco routers can use IP routing protocols, such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP) or Enhanced Interior Gateway
Routing Protocol (EIGRP), to learn routes dynamically. You can configure either of these routing protocols on your router.

Configuring Image and Configuration Recovery Using the Push

Button
A push or reset button is available on the rear side of the Cisco 800M Series ISR and it is designed to provide a disaster recovery
method for the router.
Push button can be useful for recovery during one of the two scenarios:
 During ROMMON initialization
 For loading a specific configuration file without accessing the router IOS prompt after IOS is up and running.
Push Button Behavior During ROMMON Initialization
Table 2-1 shows the high level functionality when the push button is pressed during ROMMON initialization.

Push Button Behavior When IOS is up and Running
If you press the push button for more than three seconds and then release the push button after IOS is up and running, IOS detects
this event and looks for configuration files in the order of priority.If the IOS finds the configuration file, it copies the
configuration file to the startup configuration file. Then the router reloads itself and the new configuration takes effect. If the
configuration files cannot be found, pressing reset button has no effect.
The order of priority in which the router looks for configuration file is given as follows:
1.  usbflash0:customer-config. SN
2.  usbflash0:customer-config
3.  flash:customer-config. SN
4.  flash:customer-config
Note  SN is the hardware serial number.

Configuring 800M Series ISR using Zero Touch Deployment

The Zero Touch Deployment (ZTD) through USB feature in Cisco 800M Series ISRs is an ease-of-use feature that loads a
customized configuration from a USB flash drive. This feature requires that the router has no startup configuration in its
nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM). The feature also requires that a valid configuration file, with the filename extension.cfg, is stored in
the USB flash drive. A valid configuration file can be created by saving the running configuration of a router to flash, USB flash,
or to a TFTP Server.
When a router with no startup configuration boots up, it checks for a valid configuration file within the USB flash drive. The pre-
requisites for deployment using the Zero Touch Deployment through USB feature are:
 Boot up router with no startup-configuration.
 Cisco USB flash drive inserted in the first available USB slot.
 A valid configuration file in ASCII text with the filename extension.cfg
If the USB flash drive has multiple.cfg files, the router chooses the one with the highest index number in the USB Flash drive. To
avoid loading an incorrect.cfg file, ensure that there is only one.cfg file in the USB flash drive.
The Cisco 800M Series ISR uses second core and it is actively used in detecting USB flash drive if 3G Wireless WAN module is
present on the router. If 3G Wireless WAN module is not present, USB flash drive is detected by the IOS. When 3G Wireless
WAN module is present, USB detection is a bit delayed for the Cisco 800M series ISR due to the delay in second core
initialization. While system startup is in progress and push button is pressed, a timer is started to check the completion of second
core initialization. For some reason if second core takes more time, system reports an error message and continues the normal
start up. After second core initialization router waits up to 10 seconds for USB detection and then complete the configuration. In
case the USB flash drive does not contain a deployment configuration, router enters the configuration mode.
