Introducing Quick Configuration

This chapter describes how to use the Quick Configuration utility to

create a minimal configuration for IP, IPX, AppleTalk, and DECnet

routing services. You can also use Quick Configuration to disable or

enable bridging on each port of your router.

Why Use Quick Configuration? Your HP router provides two methods

for configuring the router through the console port:

The Quick Configuration utility — the short path to basic configura-

tions

The Configuration Editor — the detailed path to fully customized

configurations (described in chapter 4)

Quick Configuration provides the following:

A single-screen “worksheet” approach for basic configurations—you

can combine several steps into one for a configuration process that

is faster and easier than using the more detailed and extensive

Configuration Editor.

Access to a minimal set of IP, IPX, AppleTalk, and DECnet parame-

ters, plus options for bridging and IP host-only operation.

Access to X.25 (available on most HP routers) and other selected

branches of the Configuration Editor, or to the entire Configuration

Editor—you can use the ‘‘hotkeys’’ to choose either, without having

to exit from Quick Configuration.

Optional rebooting upon exit from Quick Configuration—when

you’ve finished configuring, you can choose to reboot when you exit

from Quick Configuration. This makes it faster and easier to get your

router up and running after you’ve made configuration changes.

Note Quick Configuration affects a small subset of the overall parameter set

accessed through the Configuration Editor. For more on this topic, refer

to ‘‘Interacting With the Configuration Editor’’ on page 3-29.
