H3C AR 46 Series Routers  Installation Manual 

Chapter 4  Starting and Configuring the Router

 

4-11 

 

  Note: 

z

 

Immediately after “H3C Series AR46E Bootrom, 5.01” appears, “System starts 

booting ... (1.01)” disappears. (Here, 5.01 is the version of the Boot ROM.) 

z

 

To have the system enter Boot Menu, press <Ctrl+B> within three seconds after 

“Press Ctrl-B to enter Boot Menu...” appears; otherwise, the system starts 

decompressing the program. To enter Boot Menu after that, you must reboot the 

router. 

z

 

If the bootstrap discovers that the version of the Boot ROM in the Comware is 

inconsistent with the one in use, it automatically upgrade the Boot ROM program 

and displays: 

     The current starting file is main application file--flash:/b14d008! 

     Upgrade Bootrom............!  

     Download completed.  

     Please wait, it needs a long time######  

     Writing into Boot ROM Succeeds.  

     System will reboot... 

z

 

Upon completion of the upgrade the router reboots with the running Boot ROM 

upgraded.  

 

4.2  Router Configuration Basics 

4.2.1  Basic Configuration Procedures 

The following are the general procedures for configuring the router: 

Step 1: Before working on the router, fully comprehend network requirements, such as 

networking purpose, position of the router on the network, subnetting, type of the WAN 

and transmission medium, security policy and reliability. 

Step 2: Based on the requirements, draw a clear and complete networking diagram. 

Step 3: Configure the WAN interface on the router.  

z

 

First, configure the physical operating parameters (such as 

synchronous/asynchronous serial interface, baud rate and synchronization clock) 

of the interface according to the transmission medium of the WAN. For the dial-up 

interface, you also need to configure DCC parameters.  

z

 

Then, configure the link layer protocol and the related operating parameters 

according to the type of the WAN. 

Step 4: Assign an IP address or IPX network number to each interface on the router 

according to subnetting. 

Step 5: Configure routing. When enabling a dynamic routing protocol, you also need to 

configure the related operating parameters.
