Nortel Networks 14.2 manual Preparing Configuration and Image Files, Creating Configuration Files

Configuring Remote Access for AN and Passport ARN Routers

Preparing Configuration and Image Files

AN/ANH and ARN routers ship with a flash memory card that contains a default (generic) configuration file and the an.exe or arn.exe router software image. For the AN/ANH and ARN routers in your network, you must create:

•A unique configuration file for each netbooting router

•A uniform software image for all netbooting routers

Creating Configuration Files

To prepare network configuration files:

1.Use the Configuration Manager in local mode to create a configuration file for each router.

For instructions, see Configuring and Managing Routers with Site Manager. Also, see the following:

•Table 3-1 for the Site Manager module name to use when creating a configuration file for AN routers

•Tables 3-2 through 3-4 for the module names to use when creating a configuration file for ARN routers.

Note: For ARN routers, you choose base, expansion, and adapter modules separately.

Site Manager identifies AN and ANH routers with module names that use mnemonic abbreviations for each of the router’s connectors. For example, the module name E/T/2S identifies an AN with one Ethernet, one token ring, and two serial interfaces. The module name 8ptEHub/3S/N11 DCM identifies an 8-port ANH with a third serial interface and an RMON data collection module (DCM) installed.
