Avaya P130 CLI - Architecture, Access &Conventions

This chapter describes the Avaya P130 CLI architecture and conventions, and provides instructions for accessing the Avaya P130 for configuration purposes.

The configuration procedure involves establishing a Telnet session or a serial connection and then using the P130’s internal CLI. The CLI is command-line driven and does not have any menus. To activate a configuration option, you must type the desired command at the prompt and press Enter. You can also configure your P130 using the P130 Manager with its graphical user interface. For details, see the P130 Device Manager Appendix and the MultiService Network Manager P130 Manager User Guide on the Management CD.

CLI Architecture

The P130 Switch CLI entity allows you to set and configure all Layer 2 switching and Multilayer Policy switching parameters.

Initial access to the P130 switch can be established via a serial connection of a Telnet connection to any one of the entities.

Establishing a Serial Connection

Perform the following steps to connect a terminal (physical or emulation) to the

P130 Switch Console port for configuration of Stack or Router parameters:

1Use the serial cable supplied to attach the RJ-45 console connector to any Console port of the P130 Switch. Connect the DB-9 connector to the serial (COM) port on your PC/terminal.

2Ensure that the serial port settings on the terminal are 9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.

3When you see the “Welcome to Avaya P130” menu and are prompted for a Login Name, enter the default login. The default login is root.

4When you are promoted for a password, enter the user level password root.

5Now you can establish a connection to the switch and begin configuration of switching parameters.
