Running the Quick-Start Installation Script
Run the Quick-Start installation script to establish an initial IP network interface
between the router or BNX platform and the Site Manager workstation from
which you’ll manage the router or BNX platform.
To create the initial IP interface you need to
• Understand the router or BNX platform’s file system.
• Review the Quick-Start installation files.
• Boot the router or BNX platform with the ti.cfg file (a special booting file that
initializes the router or BNX platform without pre-existing configuration).
• Run the Quick-Start installation script (install.bat) once, to configure the
initial interface.
The Quick-Start installation script prompts you to enter the network information
that dynamically configures the initial IP interface. You configure subsequent
interfaces with Site Manager, Quick2Config, or other router management
software.
Understanding the Router or BNX Platform’s File System
Your router or BNX platform stores installation files on memory cards. The Non-
Volatile File System (NVFS) running in the router or BNX platform reads and
writes to the memory cards for file storage. Some older models also have disk
drives with the Disk Operating System (DOS), but installation files for this release
are not distributed on disks. Call the Bay Networks Technical Response Center for
information on updating to a memory card system.
