Perform Initial Configuration
You can configure your router by using one of the following methods:
Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM)—If your router was purchased with a VPN bundle, SDM is installed on
the router. For instructions on configuring your router by using SDM, refer to the Cisco Router and Security Device
Manager (SDM) Quick Start Guide 
that shipped with your router. See the “Initial Configuration Using Cisco Router and
Security Device Manager” section on page 24 for additional information.
Setup command facility—You can use the setup command facility to configure basic router information. After the
configuration file has been created, you can use the CLI or SDM to perform additional configuration. See the “Initial
Configuration Using the Setup Command Facility” section on page 27 for additional information.
