Preface

Welcome to Installing and Administering Optivity Quick2Config 2.2. The Optivity Quick2Config problematic areas of networking—configuration management. By taking advantage of the unique capabilities of the Java programming language, Quick2Config provides comprehensive, platform-independent management capabilities that revolutionize the approach to configuring networks. The powerful structure of Quick2Config enables network administrators to adopt top-down, network-level configuration strategies, thus preventing the conflicts that can result from traditional bottom-up, device-level configuration.

This guide is part of the Optivity Quick2Config documentation set and describes how to install the Quick2Config server and the Quick2Config standalone client software. This guide also describes how to administer the Quick2Config server.

Before you begin

This guide is intended for the network administrator who is responsible for administering the Quick2Config server. Within the Quick2Config environment, this person is called the Quick2Config administrator.

Although you do not need prior knowledge of the Quick2Config software, you should have:

• Working knowledge of the Windows operating system or UNIX windowing systems and graphical user interfaces (GUIs).

• Familiarity with basic networking terminology, theories, and practices.

Chapter 1 Preparing to install the Quick2Config software

This chapter describes important inf ormation ab out preparing you r system prior to installing the Optivity Quick2Config 2.2 software. Nortel Networks strongly suggests that you read this entire chapter before starting the installation process.

Information in this chapter is organized as follows:

• “Quick2Config components” (next)

• “Preinstallation tasks” on page 20

• “Where to go from here” on page 25

Quick2Config components

The Quick2Config application comprises the following components:

• Quick2Config se rv er sof twar e, which is a v ail able fo r Microso ft W i ndows and UNIX platforms.

• Quick2Config client software, which is available in two versions: — The standalone version is a Java application. In UNIX environments, you

can install the standalone client software on one machine and run on many client machin es using X W i ndo ws. Alte rnati v ely, you can install the standalone client software on each client machine. In Windows environments, the standalone client software must be installed on each client machine.

— The Web browser version is a Java applet that resides on the same

machine as the Quick2Config server. The Web browser version of the client software is downloaded to the client machine whenever a Quick2Config user starts a client session.

Determining the presence of a Web server

The Quick2Config server uses a Web server to communicate with Quick2Config client sessions. You can use the Web server that is integrated with Quick2Config or you can use a third-party Web server.

Determine whether the system onto which you are installing the Quick2Config server already has a Web server installed on it and, if it does, decide which Web server you will use.

Note:

You can run the Web server integrated with Quick2Config and another Web server simultaneously as long as the Web servers are running on different ports. By default, the integrated Web server runs on port 80, which is typically the port that Web servers use. However, you can configure the integrated Web server to run on any unused port. See

“Configuring the Web server” on page 66.

Verifying disk space availability

Table 5 shows the disk space required to install the Quick2Config server and

client software. Verify that your system has the required disk space.

Note:

your network devices in the Quick2Config database.

Chapter 2 Installing Quick2Config on Windo ws systems

This chapt er describes how to install and uninstall the Optivity Quick2Config 2.2 server softwa re on Windows systems.

Information in this chapter is organized as follows:

• “What the installation program does” (next)

• “Running the Quick2Config server installation program” on page 28

• “Verifying the server ins t allation” on page 32

• “Removing the Quick2Config server software” on page 36

What the installation program does

The installation program for Quick2Config installs the standalone and the Web versions of t he clie nt so ftware , as well as the Quick2Config server. In ad dition, t he installation program does the following:

• Creates an installation folder if one does not already exist. The default installatio n folder is C:\Program File s\Optivity\Quick 2Config.

• Creates an uninstall program for the Quick2Config software.

• Creates a Quick2Config program group with icons for starting the

Quick2Config server and starting the Quick2Config standalone client.

Running the Quick2Config server installation program

The Quick2Config server installation program displays a series of dialog boxes that guide you through the installation. When you have completed a dialog box, click Next to continue with the installation. You can click a window’s Previous button to move back through the dialog boxes, in order to review or change a setting. You can also click Exit at an y time to exit the instal lation pr ogram without installing the Quick2Config software.

To install the Q uick2Config server software on a Windows system:

Log on to a Windows system.

Close any Windows programs that are running.

Insert the Qu ick2Config CD into the CD-ROM drive.

From the Windows Start menu, choose Run.

In the Run window, type the following command:

<drive>:\Install\win32\q2c.exe

A window opens, informing you that the installation program is being prepared. After several seconds, the Optivity Quick2Config splash window opens. Next, the InstallAnywhere Wizard starts, and the Quick2Config installation program’s Introduction dialog box opens (Figure 1).

Figure 2 Choose Install Folder dialog box

Specify a location for the Quick2Config files. You can install the Quick2Config files in any directory on a local disk. The

default directory is C:\Program Files\Optivity\Quick2Config.

207809-B

If you are using Quick2Config with a third-party Web server instead of the integrated Web server, you must create a link or an alias to the installation directory. (The details of how you link a file system directory to a Web directory depend on the Web server.) For example, you can install the Quick2Config files in the default directory C:\Program Files\Optivity\Quick2Config and then create a Web directory called Quick2Config and map that directory to C:\Program Files\Optivity\Quick2Config.

Caution:

Do not install t he Quic k2Config software directly into the Web server’s document root directory. If you do, the existing index.html page will be overwritten. The document root directory is the directory from which a Web server serves HTML files to Web browsers.

Click Next. The Choose Shortcut Location dialog box opens (Figure 3).
