Establishing a Management Session with

the Router

The router displays a login prompt after it completes a series of self-tests. For

details about these tests and messages, refer to the Hardware Reference.

The first step for configuring your router is to login using either its:

■ command line interface (CLI) through the asynchronous management port

(asyn0), using a terminal or terminal server program. For instructions on

configuring Windows™ installation HyperTerminal terminal emulation

software, see the Hardware Reference.

■ command line interface (CLI) by telneting to the default IP address

(AR750S, AR750S-DP, and AR770S). To telnet to an AR725 or AR745 router

you must first login to the router using the CLI and assign an IP address to

an interface.

■ graphical user interface (GUI) through the default IP address (AR750S and

AR750S-DP). To use the GUI on an AR725 or AR745 router you must first

There is no GUI available on the AR770S.

For instructions on connecting to the router via the CLI or GUI, including the

default IP address, see the Installation and Safety Guide. If you experience

problems telneting to the router, see “Telnet Fails” on page 21-60 of Chapter 21,

Internet Protocol (IP).

For information about the CLI, see Chapter 2, Using the Command Line

Interface (CLI).

For information about the GUI, including detailed instructions on using the

GUI to connect to the router, see Chapter 3, Using the Graphical User Interface

(GUI).

Assigning an IP Address

To configure the router to perform IP routing, for example, to access the

Internet, you need to configure IP, including assigning IP addresses to at least

one of the router’s interfaces. You must also configure IP if you want to manage

the router from a Telnet session or with the GUI.

The AR750S, AR750S-DP, and AR770S have an IP address assigned by default.

For the default configuration, see the Installation and Safety Guide.

For step-by-step instructions on assigning an IP address to the router, see

“Assigning an IP Address” on page 21-10 of Chapter 21, Internet Protocol (IP).

To change the IP address for an interface, use the command:

set ip interface=interface ipaddress=ipadd mask=ipadd
