Introduction to Database Configuration
Each Netlink FRX4000, FRX6000, and Frame Relay Module contains its own config-
uration database, which contains information identifying the hardware components,
and defines the operating parameters of the hardware and software.
Each database file contains defining parameters for a specific component; for
example, physical ports, subscriber IDs, or IP interfaces.
Before an FRX or FRM can properly operate, all necessary database parameters must
be configured. The necessary configuration depends on the installed hardware, the
routing and access protocols that will be used, and the devices that will be connected
to ports in the FRX/FRM. Some helpful information can be found under "Database
Setup Recommendations" (on page 2-2).
