Review Release Notes.
Review the release notes in this version’s documentation for new
information about installation and configuration.
c.
Install the router or BNX platform.
Install the router or BNX platform at your site. Refer to the installation
manual that came with the router.
d.
Understand ASN terminology.
To Quick-Start an ASN, you need to understand some ASN terminology.
Certain terms have different meanings for the ASN than for other Bay
Networks routers or BNX platforms.
Each ASN unit is a separate node. You can connect as many as 4 nodes
together into an ASN stack. Site Manager treats the combined nodes in an
ASN stack as a single router.
The networking hardware modules in an ASN are called net modules. (In
other Bay Networks routers and BNX platforms, these are link modules.)
In an ASN, the term slot refers to the main processor module in each ASN
node. (For Bay Networks routers and BNX platforms other than the ASN,
the slot is where the link module resides.) Each ASN slot contains one to
four net modules.
When you configure the ASN (or ASN stack), you identify the location of
a net module by specifying:
• The
slot
that contains the net module and
• The
module
position
where the net module resides
The ASN slot ID identifies the slot number. You set the slot ID using the
slot ID dial on the rear panel of each ASN node. The modules positions
are numbered 1 through 4 in each slot. For more information, refer to
Installing and Maintaining ASN Routers and BNX Platforms

Fill out the Network Information Worksheet.
Complete the Network Information Worksheet (Chapter 2) to assemble the
information you need to Quick-Start the router or BNX platform (for
example, the IP address and subnet mask of the router’s initial IP network
interface).
