ernet interface. You can then do the following:
1. Set the host’s IP address to 198.41.12.2, with a Class C subnet
mask (255.255.255.0) and then Telnet to 198.41.12.1.
2. Enter the default password letmein at the password prompt. The
command line interface prompt will appear on the screen.
3. Use the configure command and set the IPAddress, SubnetMask,
and IPBroadcast keywords in the IP Ethernet 0 section.
4. Use the save command to save the changes to the device’s Flash
ROM.
5. Change the host’s configuration back to its original settings
See the next section (Setting Up Telnet Operation) for information on
setting the router to allow Telnet access from hosts on its network.
Setting Up Telnet Operation
Telnet is a remote terminal communications protocol based on
TCP/IP. With Telnet you can log into and manage the MicroRouter
900i from anywhere on your IP internetwork, including across the
Internet if your security setup allows it.
To manage the router with Telnet, you must:
1. Run Telnet client software on your local computer, which will com-
municate with the Telnet server built into the MicroRouter 900i.
2. You must also set some basic IP parameters in the router. The
required parameters for Telnet access to an interface are the IP
address, IP subnet mask, and IP broadcast address. There are sev-
eral ways to set them.
•You may set them using the command line either out-of-band
via the Console interface or in-band via a reconfigured IP host.
Instructions for setting up these two methods were given ear-
lier in this chapter. Once you have set up the command line
interface, do the following:
A. Use the configure command and set the IPAddress,
SubnetMask, and IPBroadcast keywords in the IP
Ethernet 0 section.
B. Use the save command to save the changes to the device’s
Flash ROM.
•You may also use CompatiView from a reconfigured IP host (if
