Quick Con®guration

Quick Con®guration (Quick Con®g) provides a minimal set of commands that allow you to con®gure various devices (interfaces), bridging protocols, routing protocols, and booting records present in the router load. It also allows con®guration of some of the interfaces, booting information, and if the corresponding hardware feature is installed, Console Modem-Control.You can also con®gure an SNMP community with WRITE_READ_TRAP access. This is useful during initial setup because the con®guration program uses SNMP SET commands to transfer the con®guration.

Quick Con®g complements the existing con®guration process by offering a shortcut. This shortcut allows you to con®gure the minimum number of parameters for these devices, bridging protocols, and routing protocols and booting records without having to exit and enter the different con®guration processes. The other parameters are set to selected defaults.

Situations that call for the router to be quickly con®gured are:

vBlank or corrupted con®guration memory, such as when one of the following situations occurs:

±The router is con®gured for the ®rst time.

±Voltage ¯uctuations caused corruption of con®guration memory.
