Interface functions.)

Completing the Configuration Procedure
The Quick-Start procedure creates a configuration file named startup.cfg on the
router. The initial configuration is active in the router’s memory.
You use a configuration tool to add protocols and ports to the initial configuration.
After testing the new configuration, you save it as config, the router’s default
configuration file.
The following steps outline the general procedure for modifying the initial
configuration with your chosen tool:
1.
Make a backup copy of the
startup.cfg
file
using the configuration tool.
2.
Modify the
startup.cfg
file by adding interfaces and protocols.
3.
Save the modified configuration as a test file, for example,
test.cfg
.
4.
Boot the router with the test configuration file.
5.
Verify that the router’s new configuration works correctly.
Note:
Be sure to create and test a new config file as soon as you complete the
Quick-Start procedure. By default the router boots with config unless you
specify another file. It is important that you always keep a working, tested file
named config to ensure that the router operates correctly.
