Booting The Router - HP 650 Installation Manual

Installation
Configure and boot the router.
You could use Quick Configuration to create a minimal initial
configuration and boot the router, and then you would be able to
determine in the verification steps in the last section of this
procedure whether you need to configure more parameters to
further customize and fully integrate the router into your network. If
so, access the the Configuration Editor from the Main menu (option
3), then return to the booting steps below and verify the configura-
tion again.
After using Quick Configuration to set the router's network addres-
ses, such as the IP address and subnet mask, you can complete a
fully customized configuration file using HP OpenView Interconnect
Manager (or another source of a complete configuration file that fits
the particular router model being installed) and transfer the file to
the router.
For details on HP OpenView Interconnect Manager, refer to the
product's documentation. The router's User's Guide includes
instructions for transferring configuration files.
Another option is to use only the Configuration Editor, instead of
Quick Configuration, to configure the router or to modify an existing
configuration.
If you later replace an interface card with a different type of interface
card (for example, if you replace an Ethernet/802.3 card with a token
ring card), or if you later install a card in a slot that formerly was empty,
you must specify the new card for that slot in the configuration.

Booting the Router

If you have not booted the router as part of Quick Configuration, or if
you have made and saved further changes using Configuration Editor,
use the following procedure to boot the router when you are ready to
implement the configuration changes.
1. Starting from the Main menu (see figure 1-14), press [2] to select
"Network Control Language Interpreter" (NCL). You will then see the
NCL prompt. This prompt matches the current system name. For
example, if the system name is DEFAULT_CONFIG, then the NCL
prompt appears as shown in figure 1-15.
