Accessing the router
Login methods
The following logins methods are available for you to log in to the router:
•
Logging in through the console port, which is the most common way to log in to a router and also
the prerequisite for configuring other login methods.
•
Logging in through Telnet or SSH.
•
Logging in through the AUX port.
Logging in through the console port
You can log in only through the console port the first time you log in to your router. Prepare a console
cable and a configuration terminal.
Setting up a configuration environment

When you disconnect a PC from a powered-on router, disconnect the DB-9 connector of the console cable
from the PC after disconnecting the RJ-45 connector from the router.

1.
Select a configuration terminal, which can be a character terminal with an RS232 serial port, or
a PC. The OS of a configuration terminal can be Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP.
2.
Plug the DB-9 female connector to the serial port of the configuration terminal.
3.
