Accessing the DSL Router

Access Control to the DSL Router

The Hotwire DSL Router can be managed from an NMS using SNMP or from the
Command Line Interface (CLI). There are several methods available for accessing
the command line interface:
Local access at the DSL router through the Console port.
Access by a Telnet session (controlled through the management interface at
the Hotwire chassis).
For the Hotwire 6351 ReachDSL Router, access by a Telnet session from the
service domain.
The Hotwire DSL Router accepts only one login session at a time.

Levels of Access

There are two levels of privileges on the Hotwire DSL system:
Administrator. The Administrator has two levels of access to the DSL router.
— Administrator, non-configuration mode: Provides read-only capabilities.
This is the same level of access as Operator.
— Administrator, configuration mode: Provides complete write access to the
DSL router.
Operator. The Operator has read-only access to display device information
with no modification permission and no access to management functions.
Refer to Appendix A, Command Line Interface, for access level details for each
command line entry.
For local console access, the Operator and Administrator have the same Login ID,
but with different passwords for their access level. For Telnet access through the
service domain for the ReachDSL Router, up to four login/password/access level
combinations can be configured.
