What is CONFIG?
The Configuration process (CONFIG) is a second-level process of the router user
interface. Using CONFIG commands, you can:
vSet or change various configuration parameters
vAdd or delete an interface to the hardware configuration
vEnter the Boot CONFIG command mode
vEnter the Quick Configuration mode
vClear, list, or update configuration information
vEnable or disable console login and modem control
vCommunicate with third-level processes, including protocol environments
Note: Refer to the chapter “Migrating to a New Code Level” in
IBM 2210 Nways
Multiprotocol Router Service and Maintenance Manual
for information about
migrating to a new code level.
CONFIG lets you display or change the configuration information stored in the
router’s nonvolatile configuration memory. Changes to system and protocol
parameters do not take effect until you restart the router orreload the router
software. (For more information, refer to the OPCON restart and reload commands
in “Chapter 3. The OPCON Process”on page 25).
The CONFIG command interface is made up of levels that are called modes. Each
mode has its own prompt. For example, the prompt for the TCP/IP protocol is
IP config>.
If you want to know the process and mode you are communicating with, press
Return to display the prompt. Some commands in this chapter, such as the
network and protocol commands, allow you to access and exit the various levels
in CONFIG. See Table4 on page 51 for a list of the commands you can issue from
the CONFIG process.
