Using the Configuration Manager
1-5
Local Mode
Use local mode to create or edit a configuration file locally on the Site Manager
workstation for later implementation on the router. Unlike remote and dynamic
modes, local mode does not access a router or automatically display the router’s
hardware configuration. You enter the router’s hardware configuration when you
create a new configuration file or edit a file with hardware changes.
To configure a router in local mode, you must
• Open a configuration file. You can create a new configuration file or open an
existing one.
• Specify the router’s hardware configuration.
• Use the Configuration Manager to perform all desired router configuration
functions (adding and configuring interfaces, and so forth) as described in
subsequent chapters.
• Save the configuration file to the Site Manager workstation. See Chapter 3 for
more information.
• Implement the changes. To implement your configuration, you must
— Use the Router Files Manager to select TFTP to transfer the configuration
file to the router.
— Use Site Manager to reboot the router with the configuration file.
Chapter 3 describes how to implement the configuration changes.
See “Starting a Configuration in Local Mode” later in this chapter for information
on how to begin configuring the router in local mode.
