Now, a static backup route must be created for the secondary link. It is assumed that a route of some sort (static, RIP, etc.) already exists for the primary link. The static route parameters for the example secondary link are shown in Figure 4.21. Fill in the parameters for your system.

STEP FIVE

Now that the parameters have been defined, enter into each menu described above, in the order presented (read chapter 3, Using Menus, if you have not done so already). Set the parameters in each menu according to the values you wrote in the figures above. Save the configuration to flash memory at each step when requested — configurations saved in run memory are erased when the router is turned off. If you saved part of the configuration to run memory for some reason, save to flash memory now using the menu option ADMIN =>WRITE CONFIGURATION =>TO FLASH. Be sure to change the superuser password using the menu option CONFIG =>SECURITY => USERS =>MODIFY. The user ID, super, can remain the same, but the password must be changed to avoid unauthorized access.
