This router can be configured using Cisco Configuration Professional Express (Cisco CP Express) and Cisco Configuration Professional (Cisco CP).

Cisco CP Express is a basic router configuration tool that resides in router Flash memory. It is shipped with every device ordered with Cisco CP. Cisco CP Express allows the user to give the device a basic configuration, and allows the user to install Cisco CP for advanced configuration and monitoring capabilities.

Cisco CP is the next generation advanced configuration and monitoring tool. It enables you to configure such things as router LAN and WAN interfaces, a firewall, IPSec VPN, dynamic routing, and wireless communication. Cisco CP is installed on a PC. It is available on a CD, and can also be downloaded from www.cisco.com.

The Cisco Configuration Professional Quick Start Guide explains how to set up the PC to run Cisco CP Express, how to install Cisco CP, and how to begin using Cisco CP to configure features on the router.

Use Table 1 to find out how to obtain Cisco CP, and the Cisco Configuration Professional Quick Start Guide.
