Using the CONFIG (Talk 6) Process

Using EasyStart

EasyStart mode automatically downloads the con®guration of the router from a

BOOTP server. During the process the router displays the EasyStart> prompt and

ELS messages which track the process.

1.The Network Administrator sets up the BOOTP server with records for downloading con®gurations. The Network Administrator must con®gure the BOOTP server with a valid con®guration ®le for your type of router. For more information about con®guring a BOOTP server, see ªBOOTP Using a Console Terminalº on page 112.

2.Turn on the router and it loads itself from the IBD or the network using BOOTP.

As soon as the operating software starts running, EasyStart begins to work if the router has no devices or protocols con®gured, as it would for a new router. On startup, devices are entered into the con®guration automatically with default parameters.

Note: EasyStart begins when default devices are con®gured but no protocols are con®gured.

There is no manual entry into EasyStart but you can cause the router to go into

EasyStart by typing the following commands at the Config prompt:

Config>clear all

You are about to clear all non Device configuration information. Are you sure you want to do this (Yes or [No]): yes

non Device configuration cleared

Config>clear device

You are about to clear all Device configuration information

Are you sure you want to do this (Yes or [No]): yes

Device configuration cleared

*restart

Are you sure you want to restart the gateway? (Yes or [No]): yes
