Overview of Initializing and Verifying Router Software
Overview of Methods for Creating or Modifying a Configuration
Configuration Tools in the Main Menu
Quick Configuration: (Main Menu item number 6) queries you only for the configuration parameters most commonly required to get started. It provides help for each question and displays a table tracking your current settings, all on one screen. (If your network design requires that you customize parameters others than those in Quick Configuration, then you can use the full Configuration Editor.) To use Quick Configuration, refer to chapter 3, ‘‘How To Use Quick Configuration To Create or Change a Minimal Configuration’’.
Configuration Editor: (Main Menu item number 3) uses a structured series of menus, screens, and prompts that lead logically through all the parameters you may customize for your HP router. The Configuration Editor gives you more flexibility and many more parameters than are available in Quick Configuration. Refer to chapter 4, ‘‘How To Use the Configuration Editor To Create or Change a Configura- tion’’.
Interaction Between the Configuration Tools
Quick Configuration accesses a group of parameters that forms a subset of the parameters accessed by the Configuration Editor.
That is, Quick Configuration and the Configuration Editor provide two different ways to access the same router configuration. Thus, if you change a parameter value such as an IP address in Quick Configuration, then reboot the router, the new IP address will automatically map to the Configuration Editor as well. Similarly, if you change any parameters in the Configuration Editor that are also accessed from Quick Configuration, then reboot the router, the changes will automatically map to Quick Configuration.
