CHAPTER 8
Accessing E-Series Routers 8-4
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:
1 Enter the enable command at the User Exec prompt.
host1>enable
host1#
The system is now in Privileged Exec mode.
2
Set 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
3
Continue 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:
1
Connect an Ethernet cable (RJ-45) to the system’s 10/100Base-T
(RJ-45) port on the SRP I/O module.
2 Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate Ethernet
network for an out-of-band connection.
