section “Loading the conﬁguration” on page 9 for further details.

5. Loading the conﬁguration

Black Box provides a collection of conﬁguration templates on the CD-ROM

shipped with your VOE230 device, one of which may be similar enough to your

application that you can use it to speed up conﬁguring the VOE230. Simply

download the conﬁguration note that matches your application to your PC.Adapt

the conﬁguration as described in the conﬁguration note to your network (remem-

ber to modify the IP address) and copy the modiﬁed conﬁguration to a TFTP

server. The VOE230 can now load its conﬁguration from this server.

Note

If your application is unique and not covered by any of Black Box’s con-

ﬁguration templates, you can manually conﬁgure the VOE230 instead of

loading a conﬁguration ﬁle template.

In this example we assume anTFTP server resides on the host with the IP address

10.10.1.11 and the conﬁguration ﬁle named

VOE.cfg

resides in the root directory

of the TFTP server.

10.10.22.50(if-ip)[eth0]#

copy tftp://10.10.1.11/VOE.cfg star-

tup-config

Download...100%

10.10.22.50(if-ip)[eth0]#

After you reboot the VOE230 the new startup conﬁguration will become active.

10.10.22.50(if-ip)[eth0]#

reload

Running configuration has been changed.

Do you want to copy the 'running-config' to the 'startup-con-

fig'?

Press 'yes' to store, 'no' to drop changes :

Press 'yes' to restart, 'no' to cancel :

yes

The system is going down

When you issue the reload command, the VOE230 will ask if you want to copy the

running conﬁguration to the startup conﬁguration. Since you just downloaded a con-

ﬁguration ﬁle to the startup conﬁguration you must answer this question with

Otherwise, the downloaded conﬁguration will be overwritten and lost!
