Using Quick Configuration
The Quick Configuration utility lets you create a ‘‘getting started’’
configuration using a single screen that provides access to the most
commonly used router parameters. Some examples of Quick
Configuration uses are:
Setting a ‘‘getting started’’ configuration, either for the first time or
after using the reset/clear buttons to set the router module to its
factory-default state. (Refer to ‘‘Clearing the Router Module’’ on
page 3-7.)
Easily checking and/or resetting IP addresses and other ‘‘getting
started’’ parameters in existing configurations.
Use Quick Configuration first, to create your initial configuration. Then,
if testing shows that you need to configure more parameters, or if your
network design calls for such areas as spanning tree, static routes, or
filtering, use the full Configuration Editor.
To use Quick Configuration, press [6] at the Main Menu screen. For
details about using Quick Configuration, refer to the User’s Guide.
Note When you exit Quick Configuration after changing parameter values,
you will be prompted:
Reboot now (y/n)?
To reboot the router module, type y and press [Enter].
Rebooting the router module disconnects it from the console. To
reconnect, refer to step 5 on page 1-23.
The new configuration parameter values are not put into effect until the
router is rebooted. If you do not boot while exiting from Quick Configu-
ration, you can activate the new configuration by booting using the NCL
Boot command.
