Configuring and Managing Routers with Site Manager

Modifying Network Interfaces
Before you modify a configuration file, you should be familiar with the
Configuration Manager’s three operating modes and you should make sure that
the Configuration Manager is operating on your UNIX workstation or PC. (Refer
to Chapter 2 for information.)
You can add a protocol interface to the router, for example, a multiple IP interface,
a WAN interface, or a LAN interface. After you add an interface to a router, you
can use the Configuration Manager to customize it.
The Configuration Manager provides access to all parameters associated with an
interface. These parameters consist of the physical layer (line) parameters, data
link layer parameters, and network layer parameters. You can perform the
following modifications:
• Modify the line parameters associated with the interface.
Configuring WAN Line Services and Configuring Ethernet, FDDI, and Token
Ring Services describe how to edit line parameters.
• Add and delete protocols from the circuit associated with the interface.
• Edit bridging and routing protocol parameters.
You can access these parameters on a system-wide or interface-specific basis.
Refer to the appropriate protocol-specific guide for instructions.
• Delete and rename circuits, as well as move a circuit to another interface.
• Add multiple IP addresses to a single circuit that supports IP.
