Using the CLI to configure the router

This section describes how to access the CLI via a switch port in VLAN1 on the AR440S, AR441S and AR442S routers, when the PC and the router are in the same subnet, in order to configure the router.

Caution Only one DHCP server should usually be enabled on a network. If you have an existing DHCP server, we recommend disabling either it or the router’s DHCP server. To disable the router’s DHCP server, use the command:

disable dhcp

If another device on your network already uses the router’s default IP address, do not connect the router to the network until you have changed the IP address of the router’s default VLAN. Using the command line, enter the command:

set ip interface=vlan1 ip=ipaddress mask=mask

See the Internet Protocol (IP) chapter in the Software Reference.

1.Initiate router start-up.

Using the terminal cable supplied, connect a VT100-compatible terminal, or the COM port of a PC running a terminal emulation program such as Windows Hyper Terminal, to the Console RS-232 (ASYN0) port on the router’s rear panel.

Set the communication parameters on your terminal or terminal emulation program to:

•Baud rate: 9600

•Data bits: 8

•Parity: None

•Stop bits: 1

•Flow control: Hardware

See the AR400 Series Router Hardware Reference for more information on configuring emulation software.
