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, Teln et Set up .
Teln et Setu p
When you have configured an IP address for the system, you can run
Telnet on your console to access the system through its Ethernet port. To
connect the console to the system:
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.
Before you can access the system with Telnet, you must either configure a
password for Telnet access or disable the password requirement from the
management console. In the following example, you disable the
password.
1Enter the enable command.
host1>enable
host1#
