IBM SC30-3681-08 manual Basing a Conguration on an Existing Conguration

4.Con®gure any base services, such as boot options. Access the con®guration process as described in ªAccessing the Con®guration Process, CONFIG (Talk 6)º on page 14.

5.Con®gure the interfaces. Access the interface con®guration process as described in ªAccessing the Network Interface Con®guration Processº on page 15 .

6.Con®gure any required features. Access the feature con®guration process as described in ªAccessing Feature Con®guration and Operating Processesº on page 19 .

7.Con®gure any protocols that will run through this device. Access the protocol con®guration process as described in ªAccessing Protocol Con®guration and Operating Processesº on page 19.

Note: At the very least, you will con®gure IP in this step.

Basing a Con®guration on an Existing Con®guration

This section describes how to:

v Base a con®guration on the con®guration in an operating 2210 v Permanently update the con®guration in a 2210

v Temporarily update the con®guration of a 2210 while the 2210 is operating

Basing on an Existing Con®guration

If you already have a 2210 that has the same interfaces, features, and protocols that you want to con®gure on a new 2210, you can save time by basing the con®guration on the existing 2210. You can perform this type of con®guration either using the command line interface or by using the con®guration program that comes with the 2210. In both cases, the procedures assume that the 2210 is not in your production network.

To base a con®guration on an existing con®guration using the command line interface:

1.	Obtain a copy of the con®guration you want to use.
	a. Enter talk 6 at the OPCON (*) prompt.
	b. Enter boot at the Config> prompt.
	c. Enter the copy command at the Boot config> prompt. See ªChapter 7. The
	Boot CONFIG Processº on page 83 for more information.
2.	Connect to the 2210 that you are con®guring.
3.	Load the con®guration you obtained in step 1 into the 2210 using TFTP GET.
	See ªChapter 7. The Boot CONFIG Processº on page 83.
4.	Update the con®guration.
5.	Restart the 2210.

To base a con®guration on an existing con®guration using the con®guration program:

1. Start the con®guration program.
