Quick-Starting Routers
4-4
117342-B Rev. 00
You now have a configuration file named startup.cfg on the router volume that
contains your initial interface. The configuration is active in the router’s memory.
Bay Networks recommends that you immediately secure your router to prevent
unauthorized access. See Chapter 7, “Securing the Router,” for information.
Quick-Start Troubleshooting
If the router cannot ping the workstation during the Quick-Start procedure, check
the following:
• If the router was able to ping its own interface, and the script prompted you
for the interface of the workstation, you probably have a successful
installation. To be sure, continue with the remaining checks.
• Check the physical connections.
• If the workstation is a PC, a supported TCP/IP stack must be running for a
successful ping. See Chapter 8, “
Installing Site Manager on a PC,” for
information about TCP/IP stacks, adapters and drivers.
• Verify the IP address of the router. Enter the
show ip circuits
command at the
Technician Interface prompt to make sure that the physical interface is up and
that the IP address is correct. For more information about the
show
command,
see Using Technician Interface Scripts.
• Verify the IP address and subnet mask address of the configuration
workstation.
Caution:
Do not reboot the router after successfully completing the
Quick-Start procedure. By default, the router reboots with the file named
config, not the startup.cfg file you just created. See Chapter 6, “
Completing the
Router Configuration,” for instructions on testing the startup.cfg file before
you save it as config.
