Before You Begin
Before you configure the MWR 1941-DC in an IP-RAN, please be aware of the following:

Verifying the Version of Cisco IOS Software
To implement the MWR 1941-DC router in an IP-RAN, Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)MC2 or a later must
be installed on the router. To verify the version of Cisco IOS software, use the show version command.
The show version command displays the configuration of the system hardware, the software version, the
names and sources of configuration files, and the boot images.
Configuring the Host Name and Password
One of the first configuration tasks you might want to do is configure the host name and set an encrypted
password. Configuring a host name allows you to distinguish multiple Cisco routers from each other.
Setting an encrypted password allows you to prevent unauthorized configuration changes.
Command
Step 1
Router> enable
Password: password
Router#
Step 2
Router# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.
End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Step 3
Router(config)# hostname Router
Router(config)#
Cisco MWR 1941-DC Mobile Wireless Edge Router Software Configuration Guide
4-2
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(8)MC2 or later "mwr1900-i-mz" image must be installed on the Cisco
MWR 1941-DC router.
You cannot disable Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) on the MWR 1941-DC. Commands such as
no ip cef will display an error message "%Cannot disable CEF on this platform." Some commands,
such as no ip route-cache cef, will not return an error message. However, CEF will not be disabled
regardless of whether an error message is displayed.
If you are using the MWR 1941-DC in a redundant configuration and are attaching the
MWR 1941-DC to a device that uses spanning tree, configure portfast on the device to avoid
problems with HSRP at start up.
In case of a tie in priority, HSRP uses the IP address to determine the active router. Therefore, you
should ensure that the order of the IP addresses of the E1/T1 interfaces of the active router
corresponds to the order of the IP addresses of the E1/T1 interfaces of the standby router.
