cant find good "config" howtos for our 1720 router

[gwu]

we have a cisco 1720 and i am trying to learn some basic functions about configuring it(like how to change the routing tables). I can telnet into it, now what?

can anyone point me to a good document on configuring??

What is the ISP connection type?...DSL, cable, T1... That will be the basic difference that you need to consider when first establishing the system. Cisco's Site will have all the config's you will need...you just need to most worry about the WAN configuration when searching for the config.

If you're just connecting to the Internet and you only have 1 router in your whole organization then all you really need to do is

1) Put an IP address on the ethernet port. 'ip address 100.100.100.1 255.255.255.0'
2) Put the IP address assigned to you by the ISP on your serial port. 'ip address 1.2.3.4 255.255.255.252'
3) 'ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial0' or whatever the name is for that serial port
4) Add the IP address of the ethernet port on the router as the gateway on all your PCs Tom Bilan

There are a lot of technical infos on

http://www.cisco.com

All routers run with IOS, so it's the feature set of the software, not (or not so much) the hardware.

A good page to start is

..but you need to know, what you want...

Good luck,
