EasyStart mode automatically downloads the configuration of the router from a

|

BOOTP server. During the process, the router displays the

EasyStart>

prompt

|

and ELS messages that track the process. See the

Software User’s Guide for

|

Multiprotocol Routing Services for more information about EasyStart.

|

Configuration Program

|

The Configuration Program allows you to configure the IBM 2210 completely

|

once Quick Configuration has taken place. The Configuration Program is run

|

on a stand-alone workstation and has a graphical user interface. Once you

|

have established remote access to the IBM 2210, you can transfer the com-

|

plete configuration using TFTP or the send option of the configuration

|

program’s communication feature. The configuration program’s communication

|

feature uses SNMP to send the configuration data to the IBM 2210. It also has

|

a restart router option that restarts the IBM 2210 and initializes it with the new

|

configuration data.

|

Alternatively you can use the communication feature’s timed configuration

|

option to program a time at which the IBM 2210 will be restarted with the new

|

configuration. For more information, see the

Configuration Program User’s

|

Guide for Multiprotocol Routing Services.

|

Command Line Interface

|

The IBM 2210’s command line interface allows you to configure the router com-

|

pletely. You can access the command line interface by using one of the access

|

methods described in “Access Methods” on page A-1. You must use quick

|

configuration to perform a basic IP configuration and restart the IBM 2210

|

before you can Telnet to access the command line interface.

|

Use either the IBM Multiprotocol Routing Services command line interface or the

|

Configuration Program for Multiprotocol Routing Services to make changes to con-

|

figuration parameters.
