CHAPTER 8

Accessing E-Series Routers

Note: Direct access through the RS-232 serial port allows you to monitor the system as it boots.

Assigning an IP Address

When your console is ready to communicate with the system, power up the system (see Chapter 7, Powering Up E-Series Routers), and set an IP address for the system. The system powers up in User Exec mode. To assign an IP address:

1Enter the enable command at the User Exec prompt.

host1>enable

host1#

The system is now in Privileged Exec mode.

2Set an IP address on the Ethernet interface:

•Substitute the slot number where the SRP module is located for the slotnumber variable.

•Use an IP address valid for the system.

host1#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

host1(config)#interface FastEthernet slotnumber/0

host1(config-if)#ip address 10.10.7.3 255.255.255.0

3Continue to configure the system’s parameters as needed.

After you have assigned an IP address to the system, you can communicate remotely by running Telnet over an Ethernet network. See the next section, Telnet Setup.

Telnet Setup

When you have configured an IP address for the system, you can run Telnet from a host to access the system through its Ethernet port. To connect the Ethernet port to the network:

1Connect an Ethernet cable (RJ-45) to the system’s 10/100Base-T (RJ-45) port on the SRP I/O module.

2Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate Ethernet network for an out-of-band connection.
