Configure the Router

You can configure the router using the SANsurfer Router Manager application or the command line interface (CLI).

The SANsurfer Router Manager provides a Configuration Wizard you can use to configure the GE ports. If either of the router’s GE ports have not been configured (IP address is 0.0.0.0), the Configuration Wizard starts automatically when the SANsurfer Router Manager first connects with the router. The system uses the information collected in Table 4-2.

To configure the router using the command line interface:

1.Open a command window according to the type of workstation and connection:

„Ethernet (all platforms) – Open a telnet session with the default router IP address and log in to the router with the default account name and password (guest/password).

telnet 10.0.0.1 username – guest password – ********

„Serial – On Windows, open the HyperTerminal application. The next few steps may vary according to the version of Windows you use.

a.From the Windows Start menu, select Programs>Accessories>HyperTerminal>HyperTerminal.

b.Select the connection you created earlier and click OK.

„Serial – On Linux, open a command window and enter the following command:

minicom

2.Open an Admin session and enter the commands to set up both iSCSI ports and the management interface. See the iSR6142 Router CLI User's Guide for command descriptions.

QRouter #> admin start Password – ******

QRouter (admin) #> set mgmt
