Chapter 5 - Command Line
Management
The command-line interface allows you to configure and monitor the router in-band
via Telnet or out-of-band with a terminal connected to the BR Router’s
AUX/Console interface.
Telnet is a remote terminal communications protocol based on TCP/IP. With
Telnet you can log into and manage the router from anywhere on your IP
internetwork, including across the Internet if you choose. To do this, you must run
Telnet client software on your local computer, which will communicate with the
Telnet server built into the router.
In order to be able to access the command-line interface via Telnet, you must first
set some IP parameters in the router.
You can set basic IP parameters out-of-band using the AUX/Console interface and a
terminal or a PC with terminal emulation software, or in-band with a reconfigured
IP host or RouterView.
After the IP parameters are set and saved to Flash ROM, you can complete the
configuration in-band with Telnet.
Out-of-Band Command Line Management
You can use command line management out-of-band as a permanent management
method, or only temporarily in order to set the router’s IP parameters to allow in-
band Telnet access.
In order to access the command line out of band, set a terminal or a PC to a baud
rate of 9600, and connect it to the router’s AUX/Console interface using the cable
which was supplied with the router. Press the <Return> key one or two times.
Enter the default password letmein at the password prompt. The command line
interface prompt will appear on the screen.
If you plan to use out-of-band access for ongoing management of your router, you
can find further information on using the command line interface in the Command
Line Reference Guide that was supplied with your router. Otherwise, see the
section below (Setting Up Telnet Operation) for information on setting the router to
allow Telnet access from hosts on its network.
