CONFIGURATION OVERVIEWOVERVIEWWe provide the following configuration tools to set up and/or alter your configuration:• SFVRA Configuration Manager, the graphical interface utility for basic to intermediateconfigurations• CFGEDIT, the configuration utility for more complex configurations• Manage Mode, the dynamic management utilitySFVRA Configuration Manager (SFVRA-CFG) is a fast and easy way to configure basic features foryour system. However, SFVRA-CFG is NOT dynamic. This means that after the configuration filesare transferred, SFVRA-CFG interrupts normal system operation in order to implement the files. Itis also important to note that downloading these configuration files does not update the system’sexisting configuration files, it overwrites them.The following is a list of some of the major features that cannot be configured by SFVRA-CFG:• AppleTalk Remote LAN port• Bridge filters• DHCP• File attributes configuration• Frame Relay• IP filters• IPX static routes and services• Off-node authentication databases• TFTP configuration• X.25For a more complex configuration, CFGEDIT is a comprehensive utility you may wish to use toconfigure advanced features for your system. CFGEDIT is also NOT dynamic. This means you willhave to interrupt normal system operations in order to update configuration files. (You may do soby either rebooting, or issuing therestart command).WARNING:If you use CFGEDIT to make configuration changes you will no longer be able to useSFVRA-CFG.Manage Mode provides a real-time management mechanism that allows you to change theconfiguration, without interrupting the current execution state of the system software. But, becauseit is dynamic, Manage Mode does have its limitations. So, when making configuration changes, youusually need to use a combination of both Manage Mode and CFGEDIT.WARNING:If you use Manage Mode to make configuration changes you will no longer be able to useSFVRA-CFG.You may only have one CFGEDIT or Dynamic Management session active at a time per system. Forexample, if a user is making changes directly to the system using Dynamic Management, and thena second person at a different location using Telnet attempts changes, access will be denied to thesecond person. However, if you have an active CFGEDIT or Dynamic Management session and |
