108Remote connection configuration using the CLI

Example of assigning a static route to the management interface

Procedure steps

Action

If you locate a management station on the network of 11.0.0.0/255.0.0.0, and the next hop to that network from the management interface is 10.127.231.1, enter the following command to configure the management port:

config bootconfig net mgmt route add 11.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 10.127.231.1

The value 11.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 represents the target subnet; the value 10.127.231.1 represents the gateway you use to point to the target subnet.

ATTENTION

The config bootconfig net mgmt route add command uses the natural mask of the target subnet. Therefore, in the preceding example, what you implement is the command:config bootconfig net mgmt route add

13.0.0.010.125.2.1. Additionally, this route does not appear in the routing table of the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600. If you configure a 13.x.x.x network for output using the I/O modules, the switch can experience connectivity issues.

Enabling remote access services

Enable the remote access service to provide multiple methods of remote access.

Prerequisites

When you enable an rlogin flag, you must configure an access policy and specify the user name of who can access the switch. For more information about the access policy commands, see Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 8600 Security, NN46205-601.

Procedure steps

Step Action

1Enable or disable the access service, in the run-time CLI, by using the following command:

config bootconfig flags <access-service> <truefalse>

2Save the configuration.

3From the boot-monitor CLI, while the switch is booting, press any key to interrupt the autoboot process.
