Learning About the

This section describes how to access the bridge/router user interface and provides

User Interface

an overview of the menu-driven and command-line interfaces.

This section also includes the following information:

■How to specify values, set members, or set addresses when using either the menu-driven or command-line interface

■How to use online help

Accessing the User To access the user interface or to modify the configuration of the NETBuilder Interface bridge/router, use one of the following methods:

■Access the bridge/router commands locally through the console port.

■Establish a Telnet session with the bridge/router using security passwords.

■Use a device (for example, a workstation) on the same extended network or internetwork to access the bridge/router through the Telnet protocol. NETBuilder software also supports outgoing Telnet.

The software supports TCP and UDP over Bigger Addresses (TUBA), which means you can Telnet to the bridge/router using an IP address or an OSI NSAP address from a PC or workstation. For more information about using Telnet on a workstation, refer to the manual that accompanies the workstation.

■View and configure a subset of bridge/router parameters from a remote host using SNMP. For information on preparing the bridge/router to run SNMP, refer to Using NETBuilder Family Software.

interface, see the next section.

 

■ Enter the command at the system prompt if you know the exact syntax.

 

For information about the command line and rules for entering commands,

 

refer to “Using the Command-Line Interface” on page 6-3.

 

The syntax for each command and parameter is described in Reference for

 

NETBuilder Family Software.
