HowTo - Cisco Router Clean Bootup Sequence and Hardware Spec Check
Networking HowTo's - Cisco HowTo's
Written by Keith Short   
Thursday, 02 October 2008 11:56

I figured we've jumped around a bit, but not shown some basic Cisco information from the low-level up. This HowTo format will appear more often in the future. It will consist of the output from the capture of a real procedure on the router, followed by either diagnostic or configuration commands.

In this case you'll see the bootup sequence of a new Cisco 1811 router (which is basically the same sequnce as for any Cisco IOS device), then I'll run the "sho ver" (short for "show version") command. I used "PUTTY" a free download terminal client to record the information below.

 

***Note using the short version of commands will make you look like a pro when you boss is looking over you shoulder. :)

Look over the "sho ver" output. This tells you what version of code your're running, the type of Cisco device, the amount of memory, size of the flash. You'll also see how long the device has been up, and why it was restarted (important information in certain troubleshooting situations).

Here's the  bootup sequence and "sho ver" output:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) is installed on this device.
This feature requires the one-time use of the username "cisco"
with the password "cisco". The default username and password have a privilege level of 15.

Please change these publicly known initial credentials using SDM or the IOS CLI.
Here are the Cisco IOS commands.

username <myuser>  privilege 15 secret 0 <mypassword>
no username cisco

Replace <myuser> and <mypassword> with the username and password you want to use.

For more information about SDM please follow the instructions in the QUICK START
GUIDE for your router or go to http://www.cisco.com/go/sdm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------


User Access Verification

Username: Cisco
Password:
% Password expiration warning.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM) is installed on this device and
it provides the default username "cisco" for  one-time use. If you have already
used the username "cisco" to login to the router and your IOS image supports the
"one-time" user option, then this username has already expired. You will not be
able to login to the router with this username after you exit this session.
 
It is strongly suggested that you create a new username with a privilege level
of 15 using the following command.
 
username <myuser> privilege 15 secret 0 <mypassword>
 
Replace <myuser> and <mypassword> with the username and password you want to
use.
