Before You Begin
If you are setting up a new router, complete the procedures that follow before
continuing with this book. If your routers are already installed and operating, go
to the next section, “Ho
w to Use This Guide.”
For new routers, complete the following tasks:
• Boot the router according to the instructions in Quick-Starting Routers.
Quick-Starting Routers is on the Bay Networks BayRS Version 12.00 Online
Library CD for the current version of software. The CD is included with your
router. These instructions start the router with a software image and a basic
configuration file, which you can later modify to suit your network.
At the end of the Quick-Start procedure, there are three configuration files on
the router:
-- startup.cfg (the Quick-Start procedure’s suggested file name). This is the
active file in the router’s memory that configures the first interface on the
router for the Internet Protocol (IP). The router is operating with this file
at the end of the Quick-Start procedure.
-- ti.cfg, the initial configuration file that contains only minimal information
to boot new routers. You use ti.cfg before adding configuration
information with the Quick-Start installation script. Do not modify ti.cfg
or overwrite it with another file.
-- config, the router’s default configuration file. When you initially boot the
router, config contains some system information, but it does not contain a
configured router interface. When the router boots, it uses the config file
by default.
• Install Site Manager as instructed in Quick-Starting Routers.
