Configuration Software
Stratix 5900 Configurator software and Stratix 5900 Device Manager are GUI-
based device-management tools for the Stratix 5900 services router.
Stratix 5900 Configurator software is a PC-based application that simplifies
router, firewall, intrusion prevention system (IPS), VPN, unified
communications, WAN, LAN, and basic wireless configuration through easy-to-
use wizards.
Stratix 5900 Device Manager is a lightweight version of Stratix 5900
Configurator software. It is an embedded device manager that is available on the
router flash memory that you can use to configure some of the LAN and WAN
interfaces and basic configurations to bootstrap the router.
Stratix 5900 Device Manager is available on the router flash memory. The router
comes with a default configuration, and Stratix 5900 Device Manager can be
accessed through a browser by using the WAN IP address using HTTP. Stratix
5900 Device Manager provides the necessary functions to bootstrap the routers.
The user interface supports basic features including different WAN and LAN
interfaces, static routes, user management, Domain Name System (DNS),
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and Hostname configurations.
It also provides the ability to configure the server on the router.
Users of the Cisco IOS® Software CLI can execute and configure the Cisco IOS
Software CLI on the routers using Stratix 5900 Device Manager. In addition,
Device Manager provides basic utility tools such as ping and traceroute as basic
troubleshooting tools.
There are three software programs that can be used to configure the Stratix 5900
services router.
• Stratix 5900 Device Manager software
• Stratix Configurator software
• Cisco’s IOS command line interface programming software
Stratix Configurator software is not shipped on a CD. Stratix 5900 Device
Manager software is embedded in the nonvolatile memory of the router. A
default router configuration file is placed in both the nonvolatile memory and
NVRAM of the router.
