Telnet/FTP
Once the IP address has been set (see ‘Configuring the IP Address’ ), you can use any telnet
utility to communicate with the SV Router or any FTP utility to download microcode to the
SV Router.
•
Telnet does not require a user name; FTP uses
vicomftp
.
•
The passwords for both telnet and ftp will be the same and must be set up using the User
Service Utility (see ‘Item 4: View/Change Response to SV Router FC-FC 3 Management
Programs’ ).
Note: You can not use telnet or FTP until an IP address has been assigned to the SV Router FC-FC 3.
Configuring the IP Address
You must change the default IP address of the SV Router before you can use it in your
network.
You can easily set the IP address using the serial port (see ‘Ethernet Port Configuration Menu’
on page 45 ), or an RARP server.
The SV Router automatically sends RARP requests when booting. If the MAC address and the
desired IP address of the SV Router are entered in the RARP table, the SV Router will
automatically find that information and compare it to its current IP address. If the IP address is
different, the SV Router will take that IP address and reboot. If the IP address is the same,
there will be no effect.
Note: The MAC address is listed on the bottom of the SV Router
.
If you cannot use the serial port or RARP, there is an alternative method of configuring the IP
address. The default IP address of the SV Router is
200.0.0.1
. Change the IP address of a
computer so that it belongs to the same subnet as that default IP address (for example, to
200.0.0.2
). Connect that computer to the SV Router using a local point-to-point connection,
and then telnet to
200.0.0.1
to reach the user service menu and change the IP address (see
‘Ethernet Port Configuration Menu’ on page 45 ). Once changed, you can add the SV Router
into your network.
