Sample Session
To create the sample confi guration s hown in Figur e 1 on a BN router with an Ethernet link module
in slot 2, enter the following BCC commands. Notice how each BCC prompt contains the BCC
identifier of the object just configured.
Command Comment
box# ethernet slot 2 connector 1 Configures ethernet 2/1 using a fully specified
interface location.
ethernet/2/1# ip 11.23.13.14/8 Configures ip/11.23.13.14/255.0.0.0 using a
decimal mask value. The BCC automatically
configures the global ip object when y ou conf igure
the first ip interface on the box.
ip/11.23.13.14/255.0.0.0# rip Configures RIP on ip/11.23.13.14. No parameter
values are required.
rip/11.23.13.14# back Moves back one level closer to box or root level.
ip/11.23.13.14/255.0.0.0# back 2 Moves back two levels to box level.
box# eth 2/2 Configures ethernet 2/2 using abbre viated syntax.
(Slashes between required parameter values
only.)
