Assigning an IP Address
When your console is ready to com municate with the system, power up th e system.
(See “Powerin
g Up ERX Routers” on page 73.) Then 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 n ow in Privileged Exec mode.
2. SetanIPaddre
ss on the Ethernet interface:
Substitute the slot number where the SRP module is located for the
slotnumber va
riable. For redundant SRP modules, specify the lowest slot
numbe r of the two (for example 0/0 or 6/0 ).
UseanIPaddressvalidforthesystem.
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 Tel net over an Ethernet network. See “Telnet Setup” on page 80.
Telnet Setup
After you have configured an IP address for the system, you ca n run
Telnet from a host to access the system through its Ethernet port. To
connect the
Ethernet port to the network:
1. Connect an E
thernet 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 ou t-of-band connec tion.
Before you c
an access the system with Telnet, yo u must either configure a password
for Telnet access or disable the p assword requirement from the managem ent
console. In the following example, you disable the password.
1. Enter the enable command.
host1>ena
ble
host1#
The system is n ow in Privileged Exec mode.
