B Command Line Interface usage
The CLI enables you to perform a variety of MPX200 management tasks through an Ethernet or
serial port connection.
Logging on to an MPX200
You can use either Telnet or SSH to log on to a router, or you can log on to the switch through the
serial port.
To log on to a router using Telnet:
1.
On the workstation, open a command line window.
2.
Enter the Telnet command followed by the router IP address:
# telnet <ip address>
A Telnet window opens and prompts you to log in.
3.
Enter an account name and password.
To log on to a router using SSH:
NOTE:
SSH works in a way similar to Telnet, except it uses ROSA to encode transmissions to
and from your workstation and the MPX200 blade.
1.
On the workstation, open a command line window.
2.
Enter the
ssh
command followed by the router IP address:
# ssh <ip address>
An SSH window opens and prompts you to log in.
3.
Enter an account name and password.
To log on to a switch through the serial port:
1.
Configure the workstation port with the following settings:
•
115,200 baud
•
8-bit character
•
1 stop bit
•
No parity
2.
When prompted, enter an account name and password.
Understanding the guest account
Routers come from the factory with the guest account already defined. This guest account provides
access to the router and its configuration. After planning your router management needs, consider
changing the password for this account. For information about changing passwords, see the
“passwd command” (page 166)
. The guest account is automatically closed after 15 minutes of
inactivity. The initial login opens at the chassis level. From the chassis level, select the blade to be
managed. For example:
login as: guest
guest@172.17.136.86's password: *********
