! Engage Router Config Example - T1/fracT1 over FRAME RELAY to an ISP
! -------------------------------------------------------------------
!
! This listing shows a sample configuration for an ExpressRouter connection
! to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) over Frame Relay.
!
! A listing of this sort is obtained by entering SHOW CONFIG ALL when
! connected to the Engage Router via Telnet. This listing may be edited,
! then 'pasted', comments and all, from within a telnet session to configure
! a new router.
!
! To Paste the edited listing, open a Telnet session to the router. Enter the
! configuration mode by typing CONFIG. Paste in the text from the file.
! At the conclusion, type in SAVE to save settings and restart the router.
!
! The hardware in this example is the ExpressRouter with internal T1
! DSU/CSU running fracT1 at 384 Kbps. Full T1 configuration is
! discussed in the comments.
!
! The TCP/IP configuration in this example has the following addressing:
! ISP assigns User a full Class C for LAN: 205.1.1.0/255.255.255.0
! ISP assigns User serial port IP addr: 10.223.10.18/255.255.255.248
! ISP has as its serial port IP addr: 10.223.10.17/255.255.255.248
! User has PVC to ISP w/ a DLCI: 17
!
! This file is best viewed in courier or other fixed-width font.
! The characters "!" and "#" indicate comments
!
! *************************************************************************
!
! One other related topic - Telnet can be used to assign an IP address to an
! "unknown" router - one in which IP is not enabled or has an unknown IP address.
! The user should power up the router and immediately attempt a Telnet connection
! to the desired IP address. If the Telnet session returns a connection failure,
! the user should retry immediately - without restarting the router. Repeat these
! retries for a total of two minutes.
!
! When the sequence is successful, the user will be asked to confirm that the
! router should adopt the new IP address. If the response is yes, the router
! adopts the new address permanently and restarts. If the response is no, the
! router ends the Telnet session and reverts to the previously configured IP
! address. If there was no IP address configured, IP will become unavailable.
! Once the address assignment is complete, the user will need to assign further
! IP parameters including the subnet mask.
!
! If the method does not work the first time, the router should be restarted to
! initiate the procedure again, as some of the timing constraints may not have
! been met. This IP assignment method relies on the Telnet workstation generating
! ARP requests to the desired IP address. It may be helpful to restart the
! workstation to clear its ARP cache.
