Re: OT:--CISCO EXPERTS...

Hi Stuart, thanks for the info. Its a 7120

Router has been delivered to clients site, IP has been put in by supplier
and said there is no password. He turned 'on / open ports' ? That is it,
nothing else has been configured.

No instruction manual, no software to install etc.

BTW there is another one installed at another site, same scenario and both
networks need to be ' connected / bridged ' .
