How To Use Quick Configuration

Introducing Quick ConfigurationIntroducing Quick Configuration

This chapter describes how to use the Quick Configuration utility to create a minimal configuration for IP, IPX, AppleTalk, and DECnet routing services. You can also use Quick Configuration to disable or enable bridging on each port of your router.

Why Use Quick Configuration? Your HP router provides two methods for configuring the router through the console port:

The Quick Configuration utility — the short path to basic configurations

The Configuration Editor — the detailed path to fully customized configurations (described in chapter 4)

Quick Configuration provides the following:

A single-screen “worksheet” approach for basic configurations—you can combine several steps into one for a configuration process that is faster and easier than using the more detailed and extensive Configuration Editor.

Access to a minimal set of IP, IPX, AppleTalk, and DECnet parame- ters, plus options for bridging and IP host-only operation.

Access to X.25 (available on most HP routers) and other selected branches of the Configuration Editor, or to the entire Configuration Editor—you can use the ‘‘hotkeys’’ to choose either, without having to exit from Quick Configuration.

Optional rebooting upon exit from Quick Configuration—when you’ve finished configuring, you can choose to reboot when you exit from Quick Configuration. This makes it faster and easier to get your router up and running after you’ve made configuration changes.

Quick Configuration affects a small subset of the overall parameter set accessed through the Configuration Editor. For more on this topic, refer to ‘‘Interacting With the Configuration Editor’’ on page 3-29.
