4.2 Router Configuration Fundamentals
4.2.1 Basic Configuration Procedure
In general, the configuration steps are as follows:
Step 1: Before configuring a Router, the networking requirements have to be made
specific and detail. They include networking purpose, the role of the Router in the
network, the division of subnets, the type of the WAN and transmission medium, the
network security policy and reliability.
Step 2: Based on the above requirements, draw a clear and detail networking diagram.
Step 3: Configure the WAN interface of the Router. Firstly, configure the physical
operating parameters (such as synchronous/asynchronous serial interface, baud rate
and synchronous clock) of the interface according to the transmission medium of the
WAN. For the dial-up interface, you need to configure DCC parameters for it. Secondly,
configure the link layer protocol encapsulated on the interface and the related operating
parameters according to the type of the WAN.
Step 4: Configure the IP addresses or IPX network number of all the interfaces of the
Router according to the division of the subnets.
Step 5: Configure the routes. If it is necessary to enable the dynamic routing protocol,
configure the related operating parameters of the protocol.
Step 6: If there is any special security requirement, perform the security configuration
for the Router.
Step 7: If there is any special reliability requirement, perform the reliability configuration
for the Router.
