Chapter 5 - Setting Up Command Line Management

The command-line interface allows you to configure and monitor the router in-band via Telnet or out-of-band with a terminal connected to the BR Router’s AUX port.

Telnet is a remote terminal communications protocol based on TCP/IP. With Telnet you can log into and manage the router from anywhere on your IP internetwork, even across the global Internet if you choose. To do this, you must run Telnet client software on your local computer, which will communicate with the Telnet server built into the router.

In order to be able to access the command-line interface via Telnet, you must first set some IP parameters in the router. You can do this through the AUX port using a terminal or a PC with terminal emulation software, or with RouterView if you prefer.

After the IP parameters are set, you can complete the configuration in-band with Telnet.

Out-of-Band Command-Line Management

Set a terminal or a PC to a baud rate of 9600, and connect it to the router’s AUX port using the auxiliary cable which was supplied with the router. Press the <Return> key three or four times.

Enter the default password letmein at the password prompt. The command line interface prompt will appear on the screen.

For further information on using the command line interface, see the Command Line Reference Guide that was supplied with your router.

Setting Up Telnet Operation

Before being able to access the command line interface via Telnet, you will need to complete basic IP configuration for the port which you will connect through.

This can be done using the set ip commands from a console. For more information on these commands, see the Command Line Reference Guide which was supplied with your router.

The required parameters for Telnet operation are the IP address, IP subnet mask, and IP broadcast address. To change the configuration parameters in the BR Router, you will have to enter a requested password. The default password is letmein.
