How To Use Quick Configuration

When To Use the Configuration Editor

Hewlett-Packard recommends that in most configuring situations you use Quick Configuration first. Then, if necessary, use the Configuration Editor to enter any additional configuration changes needed to optimize the router for more efficient operation or to customize it for complex routing situations. For example, you will need to use the Configuration Editor for parameters in the following areas:

OSPF

V.25 bis

XNS filters static routes adjacent hosts timers

the internal clock (for WANs)

You can enter the Configuration Editor from the Main menu (page 3-6). But if you are already in Quick Configuration, you can save time by using the / m hotkey combination to enter the Configuration Editor, then reboot as you exit from Quick Configuration.

Interacting with the Configuration Editor. The Quick Configuration utility is a fast way to access a small subset of the complete parameter set you can access by using the Configuration Editor. Thus, you can use the Quick Configuration utility any time you want to add to or change the parameter settings it covers. (To simply display the contents of Quick Configuration, you can use the NCL Summary command —page7-9.) When you change parameter values in Quick Configuration and then reboot the router, these changes overwrite any earlier configuring of the same values by the Configuration Editor. Similarly, when you change parameter values in the Configuration Editor that affect the parameter set accessed by Quick Configuration, and then reboot the router, these changes will overwrite any earlier configuring of the same values by Quick Configuration.
