Introduction
Cisco ConfigMaker is an easy-to-use Windows 98/Me/NT/2000 application that configures Cisco routers, switches, hubs, and other devices. Using a graphical user interface (GUI), you draw your network, and then Cisco ConfigMaker creates the Cisco IOS configuration files for the devices on your network without requiring you to know the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI). You can also use Cisco ConfigMaker as an off-line tool. Without having the devices on-hand, you can draw and configure your entire network until you are ready to deliver the configuration to them. Cisco ConfigMaker does not try to configure every IOS parameter or support every IOS feature. Rather, it helps you get your device up and running by supporting the most common features.

To start Cisco ConfigMaker, double-click the icon on your desktop, or select Start>Programs>Cisco ConfigMaker V2.5.1 from the Windows Start menu.

Current Documentation
The following documents are available for Cisco ConfigMaker:

Accessing the Cisco ConfigMaker V2.5.1 Application is the only hard-copy document included with the product. This document lists the key features and system requirements, and it provides downloading instructions for the Cisco ConfigMaker V2.5.1 application. Getting Started with Cisco ConfigMaker is an online-only document. This document provides information about installing the software and adding devices, LAN segments, and connections. An extensive online help system and an online tutorial that shows how to use Cisco ConfigMaker.

Caveats / Troubleshooting
1. Problem: I do a Read Configuration on my router. The next time I deliver to it, Cisco ConfigMaker says the passwords are not correct. The asterisk shows a different number of characters than my actual passwords. Workaround: By default, password encryption is enabled on the router. When it reads the configuration, the encrypted passwords are read and stored. In this case, Cisco ConfigMaker no longer stores the actual (unencrypted) password. Simply enter your password, and the delivery will go through. 2. Problem: I run the Cisco ConfigMaker Tutorial and, while it's loading, I click in the Cisco ConfigMaker window. The tutorial window is put in the background. The colors are not correct when I click the tutorial. Workaround: To fix the color problem, switch between the Cisco ConfigMaker window and the tutorial window again. Cisco ConfigMaker requires at least a 256-color display. 3. Problem: In the Firewall Wizard, if I allow access to all services or deny access to all services, there is no warning about requiring ICMP access in both directions (client to server and server to client). 4. Problem: On a Cisco 1005 or Cisco 1605, I configure the serial interface for async, which this IOS image supports, and then change the interface to sync. I deliver the configuration using network delivery. It does not change the interface to sync. Workaround: Either use console delivery, or recreate the device again.

5. Problem: I deliver the configuration to a Cisco 1548M switch, and it fails. Workaround: The Cisco 1548M switch requires a slower baud rate to communicate with this device. Log into the console by using a telecommunications program like Windows HyperTerminal. Set the baud rate to 2400. Now select the device in Cisco ConfigMaker, and press the F5 key to see the configuration. Press Ctrl-A to select all of the text and Ctrl-C to copy the text to the clipboard. Then paste the contents of the clipboard into your console window. In HyperTerminal, this is Ctrl-V.[CSCdm28809] 6. Problem: I cannot remove the default SNMP community strings on the Cisco 1548M switch. When I remove the community strings, the community string public is still set for the read community string, and the string private is still set for the read/write community string. Workaround: To remove the community strings entirely, log into the device, and enter no snmp-server community <string>.[CSCdm30548] 7. Problem: On Windows 95/98, the Deliver Configuration Wizard Preview page is missing the Delete, Move Up, and Move Down buttons. Workaround: Select the devices you want to deliver before running the Deliver Configuration Wizard. You will not be able to specify the order of delivery.[CSCdk23390] 8. Problem: For the Cisco 800 routers, Cisco ConfigMaker does not configure the ISDN connection for more than one telephone number. Workaround: Manually enter IOS commands to configure the ISDN connection for other telephone numbers by using the "Append config commands" option in the Configuration tab in the Device Properties dialog box.[CSCdk64411] 9. Problem: AutoDetect or read back the configuration from the router 17xx loaded with the IOS image set c1700-bk8no3r2sy-mz.122-1b.bin and then deliver the configuration. The following error occurred while delivering the configuration to the router:
Context Command Error : Interface configuration mode : ip kerberos source-interface any : ^ Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

Workaround: This is because of an IOS bug and has been fixed in the IOS version 12.2 and later. Following are some of the integrated versions 12.2(03.04)PB 12.2(00.18)S 12.1(05)XV02 12.2(00.10)PI01 12.2(00.08)PI01 012.002(000.010) 12.1(05)YB 12.2(00.08)T.[CSCdv07448]

10. Problem: I configured the 1751 router's Fast Ethernet Interface for a PPPoE Connection to Internet and delivered the configuration to the router. The PPPoE Configuration doesn't work. Workaround: This is because of an IOS bug. The workaround is, to configure

PPPoE on 10BaseT (WIC-1ENET) interface and use FastEthernet interface for LAN connection.[CSCdu20199] 1. Problem: I configured a DID-FXS interface in FXS mode in my router and read back the configuration after administratively shutting down the interface through CLI. In the Network Diagram, the interface is in DID Trunk mode as connected to PSTN instead of FXS mode. Workaround: Configure the interface in no shutdown stage. Log into the device and enter the command "no shutdown" under the corresponding voice interface. [CSCdv28664] 2. Problem: I entered the enable secret password in the Passwords page of the Device Properties with the option "Password fields contains encrypted password" checked. Then I tried to deliver the configuration to my router. The following error occurred while delivering the configuration to the router:
Context : Global configuration mode Command : enable secret 5 mypassword Error : ERROR :The secret you entered is not a valid encrypted secret

Workaround: Enter your enable secret password in the Passwords page of the Device Properties with the option "Password fields contains encrypted password" unchecked, the delivery will go through. [CSCdv33622]
