Specific instructions for each task in Table 3-1 are located in this and other
chapters. You may want to print or copy this procedure and use it as a checklist as
you complete each task.
Table 3-1. Tasks to Configure a New or Existing Router
Task Instructions
1. Connect to the router. See Chapter 1, “Getting Started with Site
Manager.”
2. Verify free space on the destination router volume and, if
applicable, compact flash memory.
See “Verifying Available Space on the
Destination Volume” on page 3-5
.
3. Make a copy of the configuration file using the Router
Files Manager.
• For new routers, make a copy of
startup.cfg.
• For existing routers, make a copy of
config.
See “Making a Copy of the Existing
Configuration File” on page 3-7
.
4. Open a new file or the existing configuration file in any
Configuration Manager mode.
If you are using an existing file in local mode, you must
manually transfer the configuration file to the Site
Manager workstation before opening it.
See Chapter 2, “Using the Configuration
Manager.”
5. Specify the router’s hardware for a new file (local mode
only).
See Chapter 2, “Using the Configuration
Manager.”
6. Modify the configuration file. For example, add a
protocol interface or change parameter values.
See “Configuring a Circuit” on page 3-15
.
For instructions on configuring a specific
protocol, see the guide for that protocol.
7. Save the configuration file under a new name
(for example,
test.cfg)
.
See “Saving Configuration Files” on
page 3-33.
8. Transfer the configuration file to the router (local mode
only).
See “Saving a Configuration File in Local
Mode” on page 3-33.
9. Perform a named boot to boot the router with the
modified configuration file.
This tests the new file before you rename it to
config
.
See Chapter 4, “Booting the Router.”
10. Rename the new configuration file to
config
after the
router boots successfully.
The new file is now the default
config
file.
See Chapter 4, “Booting the Router.”
