2.1 Introduction
2.1.1 Login Through the Console
In the following cases, use only the console port to configure the router:
z
The router is powered on for the first time.
z
The configuration environment cannot be established through Telnet or the AUX port.
2.1.2 Login Through Telnet
Pre-configure the IP addresses of interfaces on the router, the user account, the login
authentication and the incoming and outgoing call restriction. Also, ensure that there are
directly-connected or reachable routes between terminals and the router.
The destination router authenticates the user based on the configured parameters in three
modes:
z
Password authentication: indicates the login user should enter the correct password.
z
AAA local authentication: indicates the login user should enter the correct user name and
password.
z
Non-authentication: indicates the login user need not enter the user name or password.
If the login succeeds, a command line prompt such as <Quidway> appears on the Telnet client
interface.
Enter the command to check the running status of the router or to configure the router.
Enter "?" for help.
Do not modify the IP address of the router when you configure the router through Telnet because the
modification may disconnect Telnet. If necessary, set up the connection again after entering a new IP
address.
2.1.3 Login Through AUX Port
If you cannot configure the router by local login and there is no reachable route to other
routers, you can connect PC to the router that to be configured through AUX port in PSTN.
Pre-enable the Modem dialup of the AUX port through the console port and configure the
username and password.
