Configuring the Router

Overview

There are two ways to configure the router. The first a nd recommended way

is to invoke the clearVISN Router Configurator. The clearVISN Router

Configurator creates a configuration for the router. It allows the Router

Configurator and EasyStart to load that configuration into the router. The

second way is to manually configure the router using menus and the

Command Line Interface (CLI).

Examples of the setup screen displays are provided in this section to aid in th e

description of the console port and to display the options that are available.

Because they are examples only, the displays can var y slightly from the a ctual

screen displays on your console port device. Boldface type in the screen

display examples indicates user input.
