Router Configuration
Fundamentals
Basic Configuration
Procedure
In general, the configuration steps are as follows:
1 Before configuring a Router, you will need specific, detailed networking
requirements. 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.
2 Based on the above requirements, draw a clear and detail networking diagram.
3 Configure the WAN interface of the Router. First, 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.
Second, configure the link layer protocol encapsulated on the interface and the
related operating parameters according to the type of the WAN.
4 Configure the IP addresses or IPX network number of all the interfaces of the
Router according to the division of the subnets.
5 Configure the routes. If it is necessary to enable the dynamic routing protocol,
configure the related operating parameters of the protocol.
6 If there is any special security requirement, perform the security configuration for
the Router.
7 If there is any special reliability requirement, perform the reliability configuration
for the Router.
