4. Save the configuration.
Save your configuration to a new file, using the command:
create config=filename.cfg
and set the router to load this file when it restarts, using the command:
set config=filename.cfg
We recommend leaving the boot.cfg file unchanged, in case you need to revert
to the original default configuration.
Connecting Data Cables to AR415S
Connecting the router to your network:
1. Connect to the LAN
If you have not already done so, use straight-through Ethernet patch cables to
connect the device(s) on your private network (LAN) to the router’s switch
port(s). By default, all switch ports are members of VLAN1.
2. Connect to the WAN.
Caution If you intend to use a firewall, configure it before you activate
the WAN link.
Once initial configuration is complete, connect the router to the WAN:
• Connect a PIC port to a WAN connection. See the Port Interface Card Quick
Install Guide and Hardware Reference.
• Use an Ethernet patch cable to connect the router’s Ethernet WAN (ETH0)
port to the Ethernet port of a WAN device (such as a modem).
