Preface

If you are responsi ble for ac ti v atin g a Bay Netw orks® router on an IP net wo rk, t his guide can help you to configure the router’s initial network interface. When you complete the Q uick-Start i nstallation p rocedure, the router will actively route IP traffic on your network.

You can use the Quick-Start installation script or the

™

(BCC

)

to configure the initial IP interface over Ethernet on Bay Networks routers running BayRS the BCC

and the Quick-Start installation script to quick-start a router

This guide also provides information about securing your router and instructions for installing the Site Manager configuration tool on a PC or workstation.

The procedures in this gui de are int ended primarily for ne w i nst allations, but they are also used in the upgrade procedure. Before using this book as part of an upgrade, see the upgrade guide.

Before You Begi n

Before using this guide, you must complete the following procedures:

• Install the router (refer to the installation guide that came with your router):

-- Installing and Maintaining BN Routers

-- Installing and Maintaining ASN Routers

-- Installing and Operating BayStack AN and ANH Routers

-- Installing and Operating BayStack ARN Routers

Bay Command Console

• For Access Stack Node (ASN

ASN Routers to a Network. For ASN local booting requirements, such as using the its local configuration file, see Installing and Maintaining ASN Routers.

ASN Terminology

ASN routers use unique terminology to identify the location of their connectors. Four ASN nodes can be stacked together as a single router. You assign a slot number to each node using a dial on its rear panel. Each slot has four module positions where the net modules reside. You identify connector position by first specifying the slot and module number s. F or mor e informa tion, see Installing and Maintaining ASN Routers.

Quick-Starting Routers

Connecting a PC or Terminal Console

You make a local terminal conn ect ion to your router, using a terminal program on a PC or a terminal console, to access the router’s Technician Interface. At the Technician Interface prompt, you enter the commands for the Quick-Start procedure.

Connecting a PC

To connect a PC to the router:

Set the communications parameters in your terminal-emulation program.

For example, to set the HyperTerminal program that comes with Microsoft Windows

b. c.

95:

From the Start Menu, choose Programs > Accessories > HyperTerminal.

Double-click on Hypertrm.exe. In the Connection Description window, enter a name for the

connection and choose an icon for the terminal program to display.

Click on OK.

In the Phone Number window, scroll through the Connect Using Box and choose the COM port with the cable connection to the router.

This procedure sets up the terminal program to make a direct connection, instead of a phone connection.

Click on OK.

Choose Settings

Configure the port settings for your COM port as follows:

Communications.

• Bits per second = 9600

• Data bits = 8

• Parity = none

• Stop bits = 1

• Flow control = Xon/Xoff
