Hello Mohammad,

First, you need console access as to enable the GUI for it.

When you connect to the console, just paste the commands below as to enable the GUI (NOTE: To access the GUI, you'll need to have an ethernet cable connected to the router) .. I will show you just basic config to access the GUI without any security measures in place. If you need advanced config, you can ask

If you see this message when you connect with the console, just type no

Continue with configuration dialog? [yes/no]:

enable

configure terminal

line console 0

password cisco ! This password will be used when accessing through the Console connection.

login local

exit

username name privilege 15 passowrd 0 password ! Replace name with the username you will use, and password with the password for that username

interface FastEthernet0/0 ! The interface you will connect to with the LAN Cable

ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0 ! This is a temp IP just for management access and configuration, can be changed later

no shutdown

ip http server

ip http secure-server

ip http authentication local

ip http timeout-policy idle 60 life 86400 requests 1000

line vty 0 4

privilege 15

login local

transport input all

transport output all

end

Now on your PC, go to the LAN Interface settings and assign a static IP as to be able to be in the same subnet with the router. You can use the configuration below for your PC:

IP Address: 10.10.10.2

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway: 10.10.10.1

Finally, if you don't have CCP (Cisco Configuration Professional) or ASDM (Adaptive Security Device Manger) download any of them (CCP Recommended).. Then use it to connect to the router. You'll find tons of tutorials for the CCP online.

Hope I helped.

Islam, is right..the key commands to enable GUI access of router are below as mentioned by Islam...

ip http server

ip http secure-server

ip http authentication local

ip http timeout-policy idle 60 life 86400 requests 1000

You suppose to use first two commands to achieve this.

Hope it helps...

Hi,

You can't assignan IP to a layer 2 port.You must configure a vlan interface and assign the IP address to it.

int vlan 1

ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0

Hello cadet alain,

I beg to differ, since it is stated that the device is a router, then you can assign an IP to the port, but you have to inform the router to change it to a layer 3 then configure an IP Address .. However, it should be enabled by default.

thnks candit for information ,

in my device 7 ports 0-7 in Gigaethernet and 8 in WAN  can i assighn Vlan in any Gigaethernet Ports if it possible any

basic command for it.

and thanks

Hello Mohammad,

     As we checked during the live session, just use interface GigabitEthernet8 as your uplink interface .. It can be configured with an IP Address directly .. Also, don't forget to save the configuration by issuing the command "write" (Without the quotes) from the enable mode not the config mode.

Hi Islam,

I beg to differ too.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/access/800/860-880-890/hardware/installation/guide/1Overview880-860.html#wp1227500

As you can see these are 8 switchports so layer 2 so you can't assign an IP to them.

you connect your LAN hosts to these ports and then configure a SVI for this vlan(by default vlan 1) and give it an IP address.

The Gigabit WAN interface is for connecting to another router or do PPPoE.
