Opening a Console Session

first error will be reported, along with a count of the sum of errors incurred. In the case of a
single error, only the error line will be reported. Error messages will be logged as well.
Because the result of continuing to process a flawed
startup-config
is not predictable, the nature
and position of the syntax error may cause the erroneous configuration of the XSR.
•
Router ports and protocol stacks are initialized based on startup configuration.
•
Alarms and messages reported during initialization are logged.
•
The Console is up.
•
The XSR is up.
To view the screen output produced when the XSR reboots, refer to
“XSR Rebooting
Characteristics”
on page 3-33.
Opening a Console Session
1.
Open a Console session to the XSR using Microsoft’s HyperTerminal, Procomm or other
program.
Set the session properties as follows: BPS - 9600, Data bits - 8, Parity - none, Stop bits - 1, Flow
control - none. Refer to
“Initialization Output”
on page 3-33 to view XSR initialization data.
2.
When the XSR login appears, enter
admin
and enter no (blank) password. Note that logins
and passwords can be changed later.
3.
Optionally, you can use the Console port as a serial interface in a dial backup capacity. Refer
to
“Setting Up the Backup Line”
on page 3-16.
4.
Another option is to run from a factory default node the Remote Auto Install (RAI) program
which permits you to automatically retrieve a centrally managed configuration specifically
created for the node’s operation in your network.
Refer to the following section for quick configuration of RAI. For a full description of RAI
including how it works, see Chapter 2: “Managing the XSR” in the
XSR User’s Guide
.
Optional: Configuring Remote Auto Install
In short, the RAI application transports a startup configuration file from a TFTP server for use in
configuring the remote XSR. This file is placed in the
Flash:
directory as the
startup-config
and
executed via the normal startup process. RAI is supported on a Frame Relay network running on a
serial NIM card (configuration example shown below), RAI over Ethernet (with DHCP), RAI PPP
over a Leased line or RAI over an ADSL network.
For remote XSR setup, you need only hook up cabling as described in
”Chapter 2: Hardware
Installation”
of this guide.
Configuring RAI for Frame Relay
To configure two remote XSRs with RAI over Frame Relay, perform the following setup on the
central site. On multi-point Serial sub-interface 1/0.1, configure DLCIs 16 and 18 to
statically
map
Note:
You can abort RAI at any time by pressing any key.
