Using the BCC to Quick-Start a Router

Bay Networks recommends that you immediately secure your router to prevent
unauthorized access. See Chapter 7, “Securing the Router,” for information.
Quick-Start Troubleshooting with the BCC
If the router cannot ping the workstation during the Quick-Start procedure, check
the following:
• The network could be slow or disabled, or the ping test timed out. Continue
checking the other items.
• 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.
• If the workstation is on a different network, verify that routing is active. Enter
the
show ip routes
command at the Technician Interface prompt to examine
the routing table and verify that there is a route or a default route to the
network where the workstation is located. For more information about the
show
command, see Using Technician Interface Scripts.
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.
Note:
If the installation failed and you must rerun the script, first reboot the
router with the ti.cfg file.
