Press Enter. The router enters user view and you can configure the router.

Configuration Fundamentals

In general, the configuration steps are as follows:
Before configuring the router, the networking requirements should be made specific, which include
Step1
networking purpose, the role of the router in the network, the division of subnets, WAN type and
transmission medium, the network security policy and reliability.
Based on the above requirements, draw a clear and integrated networking diagram.
Step2
Configure the WAN interface of the router. First, configure the physical operating parameters (e.g., the
Step3
operating mode of the serial interface, baud rate and synchronous clock) of the interface according to
the transmission medium of the WAN. For the dial-up interface, the user also needs to configure DCC
parameters. Then, configure the link layer protocol encapsulated on the interface and the related
operating parameters according to the WAN type.
Configure the IP addresses or IPX network numbers of all the interfaces on the router according to the
Step4
division of the subnets.
Configure the routes. If it is necessary to enable a dynamic routing protocol, the user should configure
Step5
the related operating parameters of the protocol.
If special security is required, perform the security configuration for the router.
Step6
If special reliability is required, perform the reliability configuration for the router.
Step7
Please see MSR Serious Routers Configuration Guide for the configuration details of the protocols or
functions of the router.

Basic Configuration Procedures

Command Line Interface

Characteristics of the command line interface
The command line interface of MSR 50 Routers provides a number of configuration commands, which
can be used to configure and manage the router. The command line interface has the following
characteristics:
Local configuration through Console port.
•
Performs the local or remote configuration through the telnet command, which can be used to
•
directly log on and manage other routers.
Users can enter ? anytime to get online help.
•
Provides network diagnostic tools, such as Tracert and Ping, to quickly diagnose the availability of
•
the network.
Provides all kinds of detailed debugging information to diagnose network faults.
•
The command line interpreter adopts fuzzy search for the keywords of the command. If the user
•
enters the conflict-free keyword for a command, the command will be interpreted accordingly. For
example, for a display command, the user can just enter dis.
