Configuration Fundamentals of the Router

3Configure the WAN interface of the router:

■Configure the physical operating parameters (the operating mode of the serial port, baud rate, and synchronous clock) of the interface according to the transmission medium of the WAN. For the dial-up port, you need to configure DDR parameters.

■Configure the link layer protocol encapsulated on the interface and the related operating parameters according to the type of the WAN.

4Configure the IP addresses or IPX network number for all the ports of the router according to the division of the subnets.

5Configure the routes. If you have to start up the dynamic routing protocol, configure the related operating parameters of the protocol.

6Create the security configuration for the router, as necessary.

7Create the reliability configuration for the router, as necessary.

SNMP Management For help managing routers on your network, you can use 3Com Network Director software to discover, map, and display network links and IP devices.

To allow Network Director to monitor your routers, you must first configure SNMP

V1 with the following commands:

[3Com]snmp-agent sys-info version v1

[3Com]snmp-agent community read <read-community-string>

[3Com]snmp-agent community write <write-community-string>

Command Line Interface The command line interface of the Router 5000 routers provides commands to configure and manage the router. The command line interface has the following characteristics:

■Performs local configuration through the console port.

■Performs local or remote configuration through the telnet command, which can be used to log on directly and manage other routers.

■Implements the configuration on the router through the terminals (the asynchronous interface, including those connected to the AUX port and AS port) in dumb terminal mode.

■Configures the hierarchical user protection (guest, operator, administrator). Only administrator users are authorized to configure and manage the routers.

■Online help, available by typing ? at any time.

■Provides network diagnostic tools, such as Tracert and Ping, to quickly diagnose the availability of the network.

■Provides detailed debugging information to diagnose network faults.

■The command line interpreter adopts fuzzy search for the keywords of the command. A conflict-free keyword if entered, will be interpreted accordingly. For example, for a display command, you can enter dis.
