4-6Configuration FundamentalsIn general, the configuration steps are as follows:Step 1: Before configuring the router, the networking requirements should be made specific, whichinclude networking purpose, the role of the router in the network, the division of subnets, WAN type andtransmission medium, the network security policy and reliability.Step 2: Based on the above requirements, draw a clear and integrated networking diagram.Step 3: 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 interfaceaccording to the transmission medium of the WAN. For the dial-up interface, the user also needs toconfigure DCC parameters. Then, configure the link layer protocol encapsulated on the interface andthe related operating parameters according to the WAN type.Step 4: Configure the IP addresses or IPX network numbers of all the interfaces on the router accordingto the division of the subnets.Step 5: Configure the routes. If it is necessary to enable a dynamic routing protocol, the user shouldconfigure the related operating parameters of the protocol.Step 6: If special security is required, perform the security configuration for the router.Step 7: If special reliability is required, perform the reliability configuration for the router.Please see MSR Series Routers User Manual for the configuration details of the protocols or functionsof the router.Basic Configuration ProceduresCommand Line InterfaceCharacteristics of the command line interfaceThe command line interface of MSR 30 Series Routers provides a number of configuration commands,which can be used to configure and manage the router. The command line interface has the followingcharacteristics:z Local configuration through Console portz Performs the local or remote configuration through the telnet command, which can be used todirectly log on and manage other routers.z Users can enter ? anytime to get online help.z Provides network diagnostic tools, such as Tracert and Ping, to quickly diagnose the availability ofthe network.z Provides all kinds of detailed debugging information to diagnose network faults.z The command line interpreter adopts fuzzy search for the keywords of the command. If the userenters the conflict-free keyword for a command, the command will be interpreted accordingly. Forexample, for a display command, the user can just enter dis.Command line interfaceThe command line interface of MSR 30 Series routers provides plenty of configuration commands.Hierarchical user protection is adopted to prevent unauthorized users from illegal invading. Each groupcorresponds to a view. The user can use these commands to switch between different configurationviews. In general, only certain commands can be executed under a particular view. But some commoncommands (such as ping and display current-configuration) can be executed in any view.
