Setting Up Remote Administrative Access
Setting Up Remote Administrative Access
You can configure the Ethernet interface on the processor card (CPU card) so that you can Telnet to the ATM switch router and configure it remotely. This section describes how to configure the Ethernet port for remote administrative access.
Note For local administrative access, connect a PC or workstation to the console port on the processor card. This requires physical access to the ATM switch router.
Take these steps:
Step Command
1Switch> enable
2Switch# configure terminal Switch(config)#
3Switch(config)# ip route prefix mask ethernet 0[.subinterface]
4Switch(config)# interface ethernet 0
5
6Switch(config)# end Switch#
Purpose
Enter privileged EXEC mode.
Enter global configuration mode.
Configure a static route on the Ethernet interface. If your management station or TFTP1 server is on a different subnet than the switch, you must configure a static IP route.2
Enter interface configuration mode on the Ethernet interface.
Configure an IP address on the Ethernet interface.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
1TFTP = Trivial File Transfer Protocol.
2If you fail to configure a static IP route before installing a new image, you might lose remote administrative access to the switch. If this happens, you can regain access from a direct console connection, although this requires physical access to the console port on the processor card.
