In general, the configuration steps are as follows:
1 Before configuring a router, you should make the networking requirements clear
and specific, including networking purpose, the role of the router in the network,
division of subnets, WAN type and transmission medium, network security policy
and reliability.
2 Draw a clear and integrated networking diagram.
3 Configure the IP addresses or IPX network numbers of all the interfaces on the
router on the basis of subnet division.
4 Configure the routes. If it is necessary to start the dynamic routing protocol, you
should also configure the related operating parameters for the protocol.
