Generating Binary Configuration Files
Config Generator (rpt2cfg) is a UNIX command-line tool that you use to create
bootable binary configuration files from your edited ASCII configuration file
reports. With Config Generator, you can create configuration files faster than with
the Site Manager Configuration Manager.
To create a bootable binary configuration file with Config Generator you need to
• Use Report Generator to create an ASCII configuration file report
(see Chapter 6).
• Use a text editor to make changes to the file.
• Use Config Generator to convert the edited ASCII configuration file report
to a bootable binary configuration file.
Caution: Config Generator is meant for advanced users only. It provides very
limited validation checking of the edited ASCII configuration file. If you
attempt to boot from a corrupt configuration file the results will be
unpredictable. The router or platform may fail diagnostics or fail to boot.
Make sure you are familiar with the ASCII configuration file format and know
exactly what changes to make before you use Config Generator. For additional
information or advice, contact the Bay Networks Technical Response Center.
