Figure 2-1 Network design for auto-config configuration
The router decides whether to enable the auto-config feature by checking the
configuration files. The specific procedure includes:
1) If the router detects the configuration file, it runs the file instead of enabling the
auto-config feature.
2) If no configuration file is available, the router runs v 2.41cfg.def, the default
configuration file, which it has detected, instead of enabling the auto-config
function.
3) When the router fails to detect the above configuration files, it runs the
auto-config command automatically (by default, auto-config is enabled) and
perform the following batch operation:
For the Serial interface, enable PPP on them to make all the Serial interfaces work
in the PPP Negotiate mode. Specify the default user name and password and
enable telnet, ftp and web services.
For the Controller (E1/E3/T3) interface, generate corresponding Serial interfaces
and perform the same configuration as Serial interface by the using { e1 | t3 | e3 }
command. For the Controller (T1) interface, bind all the timeslots to one serial
interface and perform the same configuration as the Serial interface by the
channel-set command.
For the Ethernet interface, enable the DHCP client and wait the peer to assign
address, specify the default user name and password, and enable telnet and ftp
service.
For the AM interface, configure flow mode and modem encoding format and make
it support terminal service.
Note:
For the details about enabling the configuration file, refer the section "Configuration File
Management".
