Storing Configuration Parameter Values 6-17

For more information on IP configuration, refer to Reference for NETBuilder Family

Software.

4Enable IP routing by entering:

SETDefault -IP CONTrol = RO

5Enable a routing protocol. For example, to enable RIP use:

SETDefault !<port> -RIPIP CONTrol = (Listen, Talk)

This step is optional.

6Ensure your configuration by verifying that the bridge/router can access other devices on the network, use:

PING <IP address>

where <IP address> is the IP address of another device on the network.

Storing Configuration Configuration parameters are stored in flash memory or on the disk of another

Parameter Values server (for example, the TFTP/FTP server that boots the bridge/router). In this guide, the term “disk” refers to either the local flash memory drive or the hard disk on another server.

 

When the bridge/router is booted, it copies configuration parameters from the

 

disk to memory. Parameter values on the disk are default values and values in

 

memory are active values. You can alter the default and active values with the

 

SETDefault and SET commands. For more information, refer to Reference for

 

NETBuilder Family Software.

 

When the new value of a parameter takes effect depends on whether its active

 

value has been changed. Some commands change the active value only, some

 

change the default value, and some change both. If you display the parameter

 

after modifying it and see the new value, the new value has taken effect

 

immediately. If a command changes only the default value, the new value takes

 

effect only after reboot. In this guide, if the description does not specify when the

 

new value of a parameter takes effect after being enabled or disabled, it is

 

effective immediately after it is set.

 

 

Obtaining Network

Before changing the Network Manager password, you must obtain Network

Manager Privilege

Manager privilege.

Level

To display or change the privilege level, follow these steps:

 

 

1 To determine the current privilege level, enter:

 

SHow PRIvilege

 

If the following message is displayed, you already have Network Manager

 

privilege:

 

PRIvilege = NetMgr

 

If the following message is displayed, go to step 2:

 

PRIvilege = User

 

You also can determine the privilege level from the NETBuilder prompt. The

 

following prompt is displayed at the Network Manager privilege level:
