Phase 4: Initialize and Verify the Router
A. Create or Modify a Router Configuration
The Shortest Path to a Functioning Configuration
Configuring the router assigns values to the parameters that control its
networking operation. The router is shipped from the factory with
default configuration values. However, even this default state requires
you to provide additional values before the router can begin to function
in the network. Unless you are using Quick Remote or a Bootp server to
configure the router from the factory default, Hewlett-Packard recom-
mends that you use the Quick Configuration utility to enter as many of
these additional values as as you need. (In some cases, using Quick
Configuration may be all that you need to do for minimal operation.)
Then you can use the Configuration Editor, if necessary, to enter any
other values that may be needed or desirable.
For more information on configuration tools, refer to the following
overview.
N o t e
If any port has no network attached, the port's Net Fail LED goes on
after the router starts. Remember to disable that port when you
configure the router. (For instructions, refer to "Interpreting LED Error
Patterns" on page 3-4).
Any configuration you create or modify will not be activated in the
router until you boot the router. The next subsection, ''2. Boot the
Router'' (page 1-30) describes this process.
