====== Cisco 1921 Gigabit router ======

{{:networking:cisco1921.png?400 |Cisco 1921}}
Replaces [[cisco-1841|Cisco ADSL & 1841 router]] as this is a Fast Ethernet only router, the 1921 is a similar router but with Ge0/0 and Ge0/1 interfaces and two hwic slots. I have a EHWIC-1GE-SFP-CU card as well because in the foreseeable future I will need to bring the internet in from the ISP ONT. 
{{ :networking:cisco-ehwic-sfp.png?100|Without SFP module}}
Note this is NOT a direct fibre from the ISP, it is fibre to the ONT, then a Ethernet to fibre converter and on to the 1941 SFP fibre in a different building.

First problem...

<code>
Router#sh diag
Slot 0:
        WIC Slot 0:
        Unknown WAN daughter card
        WIC module not supported/disabled in this slot
        PCB Serial Number        : FOC15164VRP
        Hardware Revision        : 1.0
   ... edited ...    
        Product (FRU) Number     : EHWIC-1GE-SFP-CU
</code>

I'm running 
<code>
Cisco IOS Software, C1900 Software (C1900-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.0(1)M4, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
</code>

And the Cisco Support page for the EHWIC says the 1921 requires ''Cisco 1921 ISR -  Release 15.1(4)M ''

So I need to find this IOS release first.



Carrying on without the WIC interface, just a copy and paste from the previous but with ''GigabitEthernet'' rather than ''FastEthernet''.



I had this before but didn't document it:-

<code>
Please create RSA keys to enable SSH (and of atleast 768 bits for SSH v2).
</code>

Solution is to create the key. Many helpful posts on the various forums etc. BUT none seemed to specify the commands below needed to be run in the ''conf t'' session not just at the command line.

<code>
router01(config)#crypto key generate rsa modulus 2048
The name for the keys will be: router01.rainsbrook.co.uk

% The key modulus size is 2048 bits
% Generating 2048 bit RSA keys, keys will be non-exportable...[OK]

int-router01(config)#
*Jun 20 15:24:41.599: %SSH-5-ENABLED: SSH 2.0 has been enabled
router01(config)#
</code>


Banner text for a multiline statement is a bit unusual:-

<code>
router01(config)#banner login $      
Enter TEXT message.  End with the character '$'
