Chapter 5 - 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 MicroRouter 1220i’s Console interface.

Note: Proper syntax is vital to effective operation of command line vmanagement. Case is not significant – you may enter commands in upper case, lower case, or a combination of the two.

Out-of-Band Command Line Management

You can use command line management and text-based configuration out-of-band as a permanent management tool, or only temporarily in order to set the router’s IP parameters to allow in-band Telnet access.

In order to access the command line out-of-band, do the following:

1.Set a terminal or a PC equipped with VT100 terminal emulation to a baud rate of 9600, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and no Flow Con- trol.

2.Connect it to the router’s Console interface using the cable which was supplied with the MicroRouter 1220i.

3.Press the <Return> key one or two times.

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

If you plan to use out-of-band access for ongoing management of your router, you can find further information on configuring your router in Chapter 6 - Basic Configuration Guide. Otherwise, see the section later in this chapter on Setting Up Telnet Operation for information on setting the router to allow Telnet access from hosts on its network.

Temporarily Reconfiguring a Host for Com- mand Line Management

You can temporarily reconfigure an IP host in order to set the router’s IP parameters to allow in-band Telnet access.

If you wish to set the router’s basic IP parameters in this fashion, the host must be on the same Ethernet segment as one of the router’s
