Basic System Parameter Configuration

RUCKUS ICX devices are configured at the factory with default parameters that allow you to begin using the basic features of the system immediately. However, many of the advanced features such as VLANs or routing protocols for the device must first be enabled at the system (global) level before they can be configured. If you use the Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure system parameters, you can find these system level parameters at the global configuration mode of the CLI.

Note: Before assigning or modifying any router parameters, you must assign the IP subnet (interface) addresses for each port.
Note: For information about configuring IP addresses, DNS resolver, and other IP-related parameters, refer to the "IP Addressing" or "IPv6 Addressing" chapters in the RUCKUS FastIron Layer 3 Routing Configuration Guide.
Note: For information about the Syslog buffer and messages, refer to the Syslog messages chapter of the RUCKUS FastIron Monitoring Configuration Guide.
