Attaching a Console 55

Attaching a Console

You must attach a console to the bridge/router for initial software

 

configuration. For information about attaching a PC, terminal, or

 

modem, see the hardware installation guide for the bridge/router.

 

After you have configured the software, you can access the user interface

 

using one of the following methods:

 

Telnet to the bridge/router from a device (for example, a workstation)

 

on the same extended network or internetwork.

 

The software supports Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User

 

Datagram Protocol (UDP). These protocols allow you to Telnet to the

 

bridge/router using an Internet Protocol (IP) address. For more

 

information about using Telnet on a workstation, see the manual that

 

came with your Telnet application.

 

Use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to view and

 

configure a subset of the parameters from a remote host. For

 

information on preparing the bridge/router to run SNMP, see Using

 

Enterprise OS Software.
