Understanding Configurations
Configurations are the means by which you set up your unit and system according to your personal
requirements and preferences. You must configure your unit to work within your network, based on your
hardware and communication systems.
All configurations are accessed through the Global Configuration mode. By typing in config at the Enable
mode prompt, you will be ready to specify the configuration you want to access.
For each configuration, enter the word or phrase that correlates with the system you are configuring. There
are different command sets for each type of configuration. These command sets are detailed in the
following section.
Configuration Command Sets
The configuration command sets are broken down into categories of similar functions. For example, all
commands dealing with configuring the line interface are grouped together, as are configuration
commands dealing with your hardware, commands dealing with your virtual network, and so on. The
following sections deal with each category of command sets. For a complete list of command sets and their
reference pages, refer to
Line Interface Command Sets
The line interface commands deal specifically with the way in which you communicate with your device.
The first time you connect with your unit, you must use the CONSOLE port in the rear of the unit, but
connections thereafter can be set up via the CONSOLE port, a terminal interface, or by Telnet. The line
interface command sets allow you to configure each method of connection to your preferences.
The following table gives an example of the line interface command set. For a more detailed description,
