1. Setting Up And Administering The Router
1.1. Introduction
This chapter familiarizes the user with the RuggedCom Serial Console interface, the RuggedRouter
Setup script and signing on to the Web interface. This chapter describes the following procedures:
• Running the Setup Script
• Signing on the Web Interface
• Signing on to the Command Prompt
• Restoring the default configuration
1.1.1. Access Methods
You can access the router through the console, Ethernet ports, WAN ports and the modem port.
1.1.2. Accounts And Password Management
The router provides an "rrsetup" account which provides a shell that quickly configures such items as
passwords, addresses, date/time and services offered by the router. It is very useful to sign-in to this
shell first, harden the router, and configure network addresses in order that the router be reachable
from the network through Web Management.
Note
The rrsetup password should be changed, recorded securely and restricted to qualified personnel.
The root account provides a superuser capability for SSH shell access and the Web server.
Note
The root password should be changed, recorded securely and restricted to qualified personnel.
The root and rrsetup accounts may be also be managed through RADIUS authentication.
The Web management agent can be accessed through the root account. It may also be accessed
through a number of RADIUS accounts via RADIUS authentication. This offers the advantage of
attributing actions in logs to the specific user, as opposed to the root user.
