On a recommendation from a network engineer, I got a used Cisco 891. Having worked with small business routers most of my working life, I thought this should not be a problem. However, I had no clue these things used a console and command line to initialize. I have the console cable, am able to console into the device, but am haphazardly issuing command lines straight out of the PDF manual but cannot get Cisco CP to discover the device. Moderators, please feel free to move this to the correct forum if needed.
From what I can tell, I am stuck at the point where the manual tells me to enable http server. I ran the command lines several times, executed write mem where available, but when I run the show services command, http is not enabled.
Some guidance is gladly accepted. And if you do refere to command lines, please bear with me ... I was reading some other forums and they were speaking of "run this command, run that command" but I could not make out the correct syntax, in what mode, whether it be config or config t, etc. So I might need a wee bit of handholding.
I'm hoping that once I can get Cisco CP or CPE to discover the device, I can make my way through the GUI to configure since those usually do make sense to me. As of now, I'm in the thick of it ...
