Performing Basic Configuration
Configuring a default gateway
To change the log level, specify an option for the Save-Level parameter:
admin> set save-level = [none|emergency|alert|criti-
cal|error|warning|notice|info|debug]
admin> write
If your local network supports a Syslog server, you can configure the server’s IP address and
the Syslog facility number by setting the Host and Facility parameters in this profile.
Configuring a default gateway
If the TAOS unit does not have a route for the destination address of a packet, it forwards the
packet to the default router. Most sites use the default router (such as a GRF® router or a
UNIX host running the route daemon) to distribute routing tasks among devices. If you do not
configure a default route, the TAOS unit drops packets for which it has no route.
You configure the default route in the IP-Route profile. The name of the default IP-Route
profile is always Default, and its destination is always 0.0.0.0.
To configure the default route, first use the Read and List commands to display the default
IP-Route profile, and then set the Gateway-Address parameter. For example:
admin> read ip-route default
IP-ROUTE/default read
admin> list
name* = default
dest-address = 0.0.0.0/0
gateway-address = 0.0.0.0
metric =1
cost =1
preference = 100
third-party = no
ase-type = type-1
ase-tag = c0:00:00:00
private-route = no
active-route = no
admin> set gateway-address = 10.2.3.17
admin> set active-route=yes
admin> write
IP-ROUTE/default written
Configuring basic DNS information
The example in this section uses the domain name abc.com and sets the IP address of the
primary Domain Name System (DNS) server on the local network. Setting this basic
information enables you to access IP hosts by name instead of by IP address.
Here is an example that shows how to configure the DNS information:
admin> read ip-global
IP-GLOBAL read
admin> list
