Exiting a Lower Level Environment
The multiple-level nature of the software places you in secondary, tertiary, and even
lower level environments as you configure or operate the 2210. To return to the
next higher level, enter the exit command. To get to the secondary level, continue
entering exit until you receive the secondary level prompt (either Config> or +).
For example, to exit the IP protocol configuration process:
IP config> exit
Config>
If you need to get to the primary level (OPCON), enter the intercept character (Ctrl
P by default).
Getting Back to OPCON
To get back to the OPCON prompt (*), press Ctrl-P. You must always return to
OPCON before you can communicate with another process. For example, if you are
connected to the GWCON process and you want to connect to the CONFIG
process, you must press Ctrl-P to return to OPCON first. The Ctrl-P key
combination is the default
intercept character
.
If you use the intercept character from a third-level or lower level process to return
to the * prompt, the next time you use the talk command, you will reenter the third
level process. This link goes away when the router is re-initialized.
Some Configuration Suggestions
Configuring a 2210 is different depending on whether you are configuring for the
first time, creating a configuration based on an existing configuration, or just
updating a configuration. Use the following sections as a guide to the best
procedure to use, depending on your needs.
Creating a First Configuration
This procedure assumes that you have no other 2210 that contains a configuration
similar to the one for the 2210 you are configuring. The procedure also assumes
that you have just taken the 2210 out of the box. Although this procedure specifies
an order, you can perform the actual configuration (after step 3) in any order.
To configure a IBM 2210 for the first time:
1. Examine the 2210 you are configuring to determine which interfaces you need
to configure. Note these for later use.
2. Connect to the 2210 as described in “Accessing the Software Using Local and
Remote Consoles” on page 3.
3. Initially configure a port on the 2210 and at least an internal IP address for the
device using Quick Config as described in “Quick Configuration” on page 42 or
“Appendix A. Quick Configuration Reference” on page 651. Configure the
minimum needed to allow you to Telnet into the device.
