Chapter 1
Using the Configuration Manager
This chapter provides an overview of the Configuration Manager. It also describes
the router configuration functions you can perform using this tool, explains the
three operating modes (local, remote, and dynamic), and how to start and operate
the Configuration Manager in each mode.
Router Configuration Functions
The Configuration Manager provides remote router configuration functions.
Specifically, it lets you
• Add network interfaces to the router based on defaults.
• Customize network interfaces for your network environment.
• Specify the router’s hardware configuration.
• Configure the router’s connection to the Technician Interface.
• Specify administrative information about the router.
Adding Network Interfaces
The Configuration Manager simplifies router configuration by providing default
values for most of the parameters required to configure an interface. Chapter 2
describes how to add network interfaces.
Note:
If you are configuring an Access Node (AN™) or an Access Stack Node
(ASN™) for the first time, you must read
Connecting BayStack AN and ANH
Systems to a Network
or
Connecting ASN Routers and BNX Platforms to a
Network
before you continue. Those manuals explain the special
considerations for configuring and booting ANs and ASNs.
