Connecting to the System 75
3 Log in to the remote device and manage the device using commands that
are appropriate to that device.
You can create one outgoing Telnet session on each of the two console
ports.
4 To log out of the remote device, use the appropriate command for that
device.
After you have logged out of the second device, the local EME prompt
reappears on the screen.
In-band Connections To connect to the system in-band, you must connect the EME’s Ethernet
port to your network. This allows:
■
In-band management using Telnet or SNMP.
■
In-band download of operational boot code.
To connect to the EME in-band:
1 Make sure that you have set up IP connectivity for the single network that
you plan to use for IP connectivity. See “Configuring User Logins”for
more information.
2 Use Telnet or SNMP to reach the EME using the IP address that you
assigned. In routed networks, you can connect to the EME using only the
default gateway.
Serial Line Internet
Protocol Connections
Vendors initiate Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) sessions differently.
Consult the documentation for your system. Although the 3Com SLIP
implementation is as generic as possible, it may not function properly
with SLIP implementations from other vendors.
To properly configure SLIP, follow these steps:
1 Assign an IP address and subnet mask to the SLIP interface on the EME
using the following command:
set ip subnet_mask <mask> serial_port
where
<mask>
is the workstation’s IP subnetwork
Assign the same IP address and subnet mask to the serial port of the
device on the other end using the following command:
set ip ip_address <address> serial_port
where
<address>
is the EME IP address.
