Additional functions

 

2.1

 

Router configuration through SSH and XML file

 

The router can be configured using the SSH protocol through the local Ethernet interface or in remote operation.

 

SSH or Secure Shell indicates both a network protocol and a corresponding program, using which an encrypted 
network connection can be produced with a remote device.

 

In Linux, use console input. In Windows, we recommend using the programs plink.exe and pscp.exe, which 
can be downloaded at putty.org.

 

The examples below are based on the default settings of the router:

 

Username:

 

admin

 

Password:

 

admin 

Router IP-Address:

 

192.168.0.1

 

 

2.1.1

 

Download configuration via SSH

 

You can download the router configuration as an XML file or as a TGZ file.

 

Under Linux:

 

ssh [email protected] 'su -c "/usr/sbin/export_cfg"' > config.xml

 

or

 

ssh [email protected] 'su -c "/usr/sbin/export_cfg tgz"' > config.tgz

 

Under Windows with PLINK.EXE

 

plink -2 -pw admin [email protected] "su -c \"/usr/sbin/export_cfg\"" > config.xml

 

or

 

plink -2 -pw admin [email protected] "su -c \"/usr/sbin/export_cfg tgz\"" > config.tgz

 

 

 

2.1.2

 

Upload configuration via SSH

 

Under Linux:

 

a.

 

Without router-reboot:

 

cat config.xml | ssh [email protected] 'su -c "/usr/sbin/store_cfg"'

 

b.

 

With subsequent router reboot:

 

cat config.xml | ssh [email protected] 'su -c "/usr/sbin/store_cfg; /sbin/reboot"'

 

 

 

The password is requested interactively by SSH. An automatic batch operation is not possible. However, 
the programs "sshpass" allows you to run a script file comprising the password. The script file (for 
example, cfgupl.sh) must contain the following:

 

#!/bin/bash cat config.xml | ssh [email protected] 'su -c "/usr/sbin/store_cfg; /sbin/reboot"'

 

The Linux command is as follows:

 

sshpass -padmin ./cfgupl.sh

 

 

 

Under Windows with PSCP.EXE and PLINK.EXE

 

a.

 

Without router-reboot:

 

pscp -scp -pw admin config.xml [email protected]:/tmp/cfg.xml

 

plink -2 -pw admin [email protected] "su -c \"/usr/sbin/store_cfg /tmp/cfg.xml\""

 

b.

 

With subsequent router reboot:

 

pscp -scp -pw admin config.xml [email protected]:/tmp/cfg.xml

 

plink -2 -pw admin [email protected] "su -c \"/usr/sbin/store_cfg /tmp/cfg.xml; /sbin/reboot\""
