Configuration Fundamentals
In general, the configuration steps are as follows:
Step1
Before configuring the router, the networking requirements should be made specific, which include
networking purpose, the role of the router in the network, the division of subnets, WAN type and
transmission medium, the network security policy and reliability.
Step2
Based on the above requirements, draw a clear and integrated networking diagram.
Step3
Configure the WAN interface of the router. First, configure the physical operating parameters (e.g., the
operating mode of the serial interface, baud rate and synchronous clock) of the interface according to
the transmission medium of the WAN. For the dial-up interface, the user also needs to configure DCC
parameters. Then, configure the link layer protocol encapsulated on the interface and the related
operating parameters according to the WAN type.
Step4
Configure the IP addresses or IPX network numbers of all the interfaces on the router according to the
division of the subnets.
Step5
Configure the routes. If it is necessary to enable a dynamic routing protocol, the user should configure
the related operating parameters of the protocol.
Step6
If special security is required, perform the security configuration for the router.
Step7
If special reliability is required, perform the reliability configuration for the router.

the router.
Basic Configuration Procedures
Command Line Interface
Characteristics of the command line interface
The command line interface of MSR 20 Routers provides a number of configuration commands, which
can be used to configure and manage the router. The command line interface has the following
characteristics:
•
Performs the local configuration through Console port
•
Performs the local or remote configuration through
telnet
command, which can be used to directly
log on and manage other routers.
•
Users can enter
?
anytime to get online help.
•
Provides network diagnostic tools, such as Tracert and Ping, to quickly diagnose the availability of
the network.
•
Provides all kinds of detailed debugging information to diagnose network faults.
