Modifying a Router’s Configuration

If you are configuring a new router, you need to modify the initial configuration

file, startup.cfg, which you created using the Quick-Start procedure. (For

information about the Quick-Start procedure, see Quick-Starting Routers.)

If you are configuring a router that is already in your network, you need to modify

an existing configuration file, usually named config (config is the default

configuration file).

You can generate a report of the router’s configuration using the Report Generator.

The Report Generator is useful because it converts the binary configuration file to

ASCII format for easy reading, so that you can verify the configuration and

troubleshoot any problems. See Chapter 9, “Examining Configuration File

Reports,” for information about the Report Generator.

For information about how to enter data in Configuration Manager windows, see

Chapter 2, “Using the Configuration Manager.”

Configuration Procedure

Table 3-1 outlines the configuration procedure for new and existing routers. This

procedure provides maximum safety when altering a router’s configuration.

Local and remote configuration modes are the safest modes to work in; however,

you can use any mode that suits your situation. For critical applications, when you

must alter how the router is operating, use dynamic mode. For critical applications

that require the fastest response times from the router, use cache mode.

Nortel Networks recommends that you always have a config file that you know

works and test any new or modified configuration file under a unique name, for

example, test.cfg. In this way, if the router has a problem starting, you can reset it

and it will restart with the default file, config (see Chapter 4, “Booting the Router”

for instructions about resetting the router).

This procedure is recommended for new and existing routers. In the case of a new

router, although the config file does not represent a complete working

configuration, you do not want to corrupt the config file. If the router behaves

unpredictably, it is easier to recover with the config file.
