Step1 Before configuration, you should make specific network requirements, including the objective, role of the
router in the network, division of subnets, WAN type and transmission medium, network security policy
and reliability.
Step2 Based on the above requirements, draw a clear, complete network diagram.
Step3 Configure the WAN interface of the router. First, configure the operating parameters (for example, the
operating mode of the serial interface, baud rate and synchronous clock) of the interface according to
the transmission medium of the WAN. For a dialer interface, you also need to configure DCC
parameters. Then, configure the link layer protocol encapsulated on the interface and corresponding
operating parameters.
Step4 Configure the IP addresses or IPX network numbers of all the interfaces on the router according to the
division of the subnets.
Step5 Configure the routes. If it is necessary to enable a dynamic routing protocol, you should configure related
operating parameters of the protocol.
Step6 If special security is required, perform the special security configuration for the router.
Step7 If special reliability is required, perform the special reliability configuration for the router.
For the configuration details of the protocols or functions of the router, refer to MSR Series Routers
Configuration Guide.
Command Line Interface
Functions of the command line interface
The command line interface (CLI) of MSR 20-1X routers provide a number of configuration commands,
which can be used to configure and manage the router. The CLI provides the following functions:
• Allows you to perform the local configuration through the console interface.
• Allows you to perform the local or remote configuration and directly log in to other routers for the
management purpose by using the telnet command.
• Provides online help after you enter “?”.
• Provides network diagnostic tools, such as Tracert and Ping, to quickly diagnose the availability of
the network.
• Provides all kinds of detailed debugging information to help diagnose network faults.
• Provides a command line interpreter, which adopts fuzzy search for the keywords of the command.
If you enter a conflict-free keyword for a command, the command will be interpreted accordingly.
For example, for a display command, you can just enter dis and the command will be interpreted.
Command line interface view
The command line interface of MSR 20-1X routers provide plenty of configuration commands. All the
commands are grouped in system view. Each group corresponds to a view. You can use commands to
switch between different configuration views. In general, only certain commands can be executed in a
particular view. But some common commands (such as ping and display current-configuration) can be
executed in any view.
