Initial Setup

To log in to the CLI via a serial link:

1Connect the RS-232 serial port directly to a PC or workstation, as described in Chapter 2.

2Open a terminal session through a VT-100 terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal. Enter the connection name, the appropriate serial port (usually COM1 or COM2), and the following serial port parameters:

Baud Speed

38,400

Parity

None

Data Bits

8

Stop Bits

1

Flow Control

None

3In the terminal session window, press ENTER. The login prompt displays.

Linux 2.6.16.17 on mips pep login:

4At the login prompt, type the default user name admin and press ENTER. User names and passwords are case-sensitive.

5At the password prompt, type the default password admin and press ENTER.

6When you are successfully logged in, the command line prompt displays as shown below (password text is not displayed).

It is strongly recommended that you change the default passwords when you configure the ETEP for operation. For more information about user management see the documentation for your management software: ETEP CLI User Guide or the EncrypTight User Guide.

Configuring the Management Port

The ETEP can be managed in-line or out-of-band through a dedicated Ethernet management interface. Management port configuration consists of the following items:

Setting the IP address and default gateway

Reviewing the auto-negotiation settings

About the management port IP address, mask and gateway

The management port must have an assigned IP address in order to be managed remotely and communicate with other devices. An IPv4 IP address is mandatory, even when the ETEP is operating in an IPv6 network. When the ETEP is operating in an IPv6 network, configure the ETEP for dual-homed operation by assigning an IPv4 and an IPv6 address to the management port.
