Perform Initial Configuration
This section provides the procedures for performing the initial configuration of your Cisco 815 integrated services router.
Configure the Router Using Cisco Router and Security Device Manager
Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (Cisco SDM) is a web-based configuration tool that allows you to configure LAN
and WAN interfaces, routing, Network Address Translation (NAT), firewalls, VPNs, and other features on your router. If Cisco
SDM is installed on your router, configure the router by following the instructions in the Cisco Router and Security Device
Manager Quick Start Guide. If this document was not shipped with your router, you can obtain Cisco SDM and instructions
for installing it on your router from the following location:
http://www.cisco.com/go/sdm
