You, as a service provider, can develop Cisco 800 Fast Step configuration (CFG) and Cisco 800 Fast Step IOS template (TPL) files to control the behavior of the Cisco 800 Fast Step Setup application. In addition, you can build your own, custom, installation disk set or CD-ROM.

Configuration files are ASCII text files that can be edited with a text editor such as Notepad. CFG files can be developed by a service provider without extensive knowledge of Cisco IOS software. TPL files are easily developed by a service provider with knowledge of Cisco IOS software.
The TPL file begins with the statement, “! Cisco Fast Step Template,” to distinguish it as a Cisco 800 Fast Step IOS template (TPL) file. Setup reads the first line in the file, and if it does not contain the statement, it is treated as a CFG file.
During the installation of Cisco 800 Fast Step software, the end users select their country from a list. This displays Cisco 800 Fast Step software in the correct language. Setup also looks in the ServiceProvider directory for a matching country subdirectory that contains at least one Cisco 800 Fast Step CFG or TPL file.
Configuration Scenarios Configuration Scenarios Cisco 800 Fast Step Setup provides a limited number of configuration scenarios that can be built using the Setup wizard or a CFG file and performs comprehensive testing for each scenario, as opposed to a Cisco 800 Fast Step IOS template (TPL), which can configure any scenario because Setup does not test TPL configurations.
Step 3 Change the parameters to the custom configurations. Step 4 Save the file as Cisco 800 Fast Step CFG file. (This option is offered after you have developed the Step 5 configuration.) You can distribute the file by placing the CFG file: In the country directory under the ServiceProvider directory and creating a custom Cisco 800 Fast •...
Although the configuration might be valid, it might fail testing because it is not based on a recognized Cisco 800 Fast Step scenario. If you skip testing, the configurations are assumed to be correct and are downloaded to the router. The flag syntax is as follows:...
DLCINumberRCN= FrameRelayDLCINumberISP FrameRelayDLCINumberRCN PCToRouterConnection= RestartToCompleteSetupInitial= RestartToCompleteSetupFinal= If the flag value is set to 0 or blank, the window is displayed. If the flag value is set to 1, Setup skips the window. Cisco 800 Fast Step Software Design Guide OL-10373-02...

If the SetForceStaticAddressOnPCAlways and SetRouterAsDHCPServerOnE0 flags are both set to 1, the SetForceStaticAddressOnPCAlways flag is ignored, and the SetRouterAsDHCPServerOnE0 flag is given preference.

Cisco 800 Fast Step wizard or CFG files. If you want the end user to connect a Cisco 800 series router to an ISP by using ISDN, you can use a CFG file. However, if you want the end user to use Setup to connect to the corporate network by using X.25, a WAN...
The value is considered only when the SetForceStaticAddressOnPCAlways flag is set to 1. ! SetForceDHCPClientOnPCAlways=0 If this flag value is set to 1, the PC is set as a DHCP client by Cisco 800 Fast Step after the router has been configured.
This example uses a TPL file to configure a large number of ISDN routers differing only by IP address and user name. The Cisco 800 Fast Step IOS template (TPL) prompts the end user for a user name and Ethernet IP address. In this case, the template is placed on a server where you maintain the template, changing the command-line parameters to match network changes.
