II. Maintaining the router when it serves as the client
You can also maintain the router file system by building FTP server and making the
router serve as the client.
Step 1: Build maintenance environment as follows:
Ethernet
ROUTER
(TFTP/FTP Client)
PC
(TFTP/FTP Server)
Console
Figure 5-10
Router maintenance when it serves as the client
When the router serves as the client, you can run FTP server program on your PC as
the FTP server, and set the server path. Then, add user name and password for the
router.
Configure the IP addresses of the two sides to be in the same network. In this section,
the FTP server is set to 192.168.0.1, and the Ethernet interface connected to it
(Ethernet interface 0/0 in this example; so, any interface is OK) is set to 192.168.0.2.
Both can use the
ping
command to check if the connection is successful.
