Configuring the Router
4-18
Go to Local Console
This option allows you to configure the router.You must configure the router
before it is operational. The Go to Local Console option provides two
different configuration methods, depending on whether the router has been set
up with factory defaults or has been previously configured.
If the router has been set up with factory defaults, then select [5] Go to
Local Console in the SSR-5xx INSTALLATION MENU. This option
runs a quick configuration interactive question and answer dialog. This
method (qconfig) allows fast configuration of interfaces, basic bridging, IP,
IPX, IP Routing Protocols, DECnet and booting.
If the router has been previously configured, then select [3] Go to
Local Console in the installation menu. This option allows you to
configure the router using commands to configure interfaces, bridging, and
routing protocols (for example, IPX and IP).
