Overview of Quick-Start

This manual describes the Quick-Start procedure to locally boot your router or BNX platform and initially conﬁgure it on the IP network. To complete the QuickStart procedure, you follow these steps:

Complete Quick-Start prerequisites.

Complete the following prerequisites before you begin the Quick-Start procedure.

Review whether Quick-Start procedures apply to your product.

Table 1-1 shows the Bay Networks routers with Quick-Start procedures covered in this manual. This manual does not apply to AN routers. AN routers have similar Local Boot procedures that are covered in their administrative manuals.

Quick-Starting Routers and BNX Platforms

Review Release Notes.

Review the release notes in this version’s documentation for new information about installation and conﬁguration.

Install the router or BNX platform.

Install the router or BNX platform at your site. Refer to the installation manual that came with the router.

Understand ASN terminology.

To Quick-Start an ASN, you need to understand some ASN terminology. Certain terms have different meanings for the ASN than for other Bay Networks routers or BNX platforms.

Each ASN unit is a separate node. You can connect as many as 4 nodes together into an ASN stack. Site Manager treats the combined nodes in an ASN stack as a single router.

The networking hardware modules in an ASN are called net modules. (In other Bay Networks routers and BNX platforms, these are link modules.) In an ASN, the term slot refers to the main processor module in each ASN node. (For Bay Networks routers and BNX platforms other than the ASN, the slot is where the link module resides.) Each ASN slot contains one to four net modules.

1-2

When you conﬁgure the ASN (or ASN stack), you identify the location of a net module by specifying:

slot

• The

that contains the net module and

module position

where the net module resides

The ASN slot ID identiﬁes the slot number. You set the slot ID using the slot ID dial on the rear panel of each ASN node. The modules positions are numbered 1 through 4 in each slot. For more information, refer to

Installing and Maintaining ASN Routers and BNX Platforms

Fill out the Network Information Worksheet.

Complete the Network Information Worksheet (Chapter 2) to assemble the information you need to Quick-Start the router or BNX platform (for example, the IP address and subnet mask of the router’s initial IP network interface).

Overview of Quick-Start

Connect a PC or ASCII console to the router.

Connect a PC or a terminal to the router’s or BNX platform’s console port to view the Technician Interface (Chapter 3).

Connect to the IP network.

Connect a cable between the router or BNX platform and the IP network (Chapter 4).

Establish a Technician Interface session.

Use the T echnician Interface, Bay Netw ork’ s command-line interface, to enter commands to run the Quick-Start installation script on the router (Chapter 5).

Run the Quick-Start installation script.

Run Quick-Start to establish an initial IP network interface between the router or BNX platform and the workstation from which you’ll manage the router (Chapter 6).

Install Site Manager.

Install the Bay Networks Site Manager program on a PC or workstation located on the IP network. Site Manager uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) to communicate with the router or BNX platform so you can remotely conﬁgure and manage the router.

Follow the instructions in the appropriate chapter to install the Site Manager software on a

— PC (Chapter 7) — SPARCstation (Chapter 8) — RS/6000 (Chapter 9) —HP

Note:

9000 (Chapter 10)

BNX Site Manager does not run on the HP 9000 workstation.

Quick-Starting Routers and BNX Platforms

Use Site Manager to create a pilot conﬁguration.

Once you’ve installed Site Manager on a workstation, you can conﬁgure the router or BNX platform remotely by

— Creating a simple pilot conﬁguration ﬁle — Transferring the conﬁguration ﬁle to the router — Booting the router with pilot conﬁguration Creating the pilot conﬁguration ﬁle (Chapter 11) completes the Quick-Start

procedure described in this manual. To reﬁne your conﬁguration ﬁle to meet your speciﬁc network needs, refer to

Conﬁguring Routers or Conﬁguring Customer Access and Trunks (BNX Software)

and the appropriate protocol conﬁguration manuals.

Chapter 2

Filling Out the Network Information Worksheet

You ﬁll out a Network Information Worksheet to refer to when you perform the Quick-Start installation script ( Appendix A for a sample installation script.)

The installation script prompts you for network information to connect the router or BNX platform to the IP network. The worksheet contains space for the adv ance information you will need when running

Use only the portions of the worksheet that apply to your network requirements. For example, if you are not enabling OSPF on the IP interface, pass over any questions that pertain to OSPF.

Many steps in the installation script suggest default values. Accept the default values unless you have a reason to make a change.

install.bat

) as described in Chapter 6. (See

install.bat

Some steps are optional for your network requirements. For example, local PAP passwords are optional with PPP. Also, if you don’t run optional features such as FTP or Telnet, your router will be more secure and use less memory and processing overhead.

The examples on the Network Information Worksheet reﬂect information from the sample network in Figure 2-1.

You connect to the router or BNX platform locally, with a PC or ASCII console, so you can run the Technician Interface and start the Quick-Start procedure.

Connecting a PC

Connect your PC to the router or BNX platform as follows:

1. Set the communications parameters in the Terminal program that comes

with Microsoft Windows or other terminal-emulation program.

a. From W indows, open the Terminal program in the Accessories gr oup. b. Double-click on the Terminal icon.

Connecting a PC or ASCII Console

c. Select Settings➔Terminal Emulation. d. Click on the DEC VT100 (ANSI) option and click on OK. e. Select Settings➔Communications. f. Set the communications options as follows:

— Baud rate = 9600 — Data bits = 8 — Stop bits = 1 — Parity = none — Flow control = Xon/Xoff

g. Click on the COM port you want to connect to the router or BNX

platform, and click on OK.

COM ports usually have a 9-pin female or a 25-pin female connection.

Quick-Starting Routers and BNX Platforms

Select Settings➔Terminal Preferences.

h. i. Turn off the Use Function, Arrow, and Control Keys for Windows

default option so that you can use keyboard combinations when running the installation script.

Note: If you do not deselect the button for Use Function, Arrow, and

Control Keys for Windows, you will not be able to use keyboard

combinations such as Control-C when running the installation script.

j. Select File➔Sa ve As. k. Type the name of a new ﬁle in which to store the communications

settings, and click on OK.

l. Select File➔Open. m. Select the ﬁle you just named and click on OK.

2. Connect the cable from the console port of the router or BNX platf orm to

the COM port you selected in the terminal emulation program.

BCN, BLN, CN, and LN routers have a 25-pin male console port. ASN and AFN routers have a 9-pin male console port. Refer to the installation book that came with your router or BNX platform for more information.

3. Turn on the router to complete the internal diagnostics and startup.

When the router or BNX platform boots, the screen displays the Technician Interface

Note: While you can run the Technician Interface with a local connection, to

manage the router or BNX platform with Site Manager on a PC, you must connect the PC to the IP network.

Connecting an ASCII Console

Connect an ASCII console (terminal) to the router or BNX platform as follows:

1. Set the operating parameters of the ASCII console as follows:

• Baud rate = 9600

• Stop bits = 1

• Parity = none

• Data bits = 8
