NOTE
The configuration parameters used in the examples outlined in this document are for
instructional purposes only. Please replace all underlined entries (
example
) with your
specific parameters to configure your application.This step is unnecessary if the unit’s IP
address has been configured automatically using DHCP.
The following steps create an IP address and subnet mask for
ETH 0/1
. If you are not sure
what IP address to assign, please contact your network administrator.
1. At the
#
prompt, enter
config terminal
.
2. At the
(config)#
prompt, enter
interface eth 0/1
to access the configuration
parameters for the
ETH 0/1
port located on the rear of the unit.
3. Enter
ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
to assign an IP address to the
ETH 0/1
port using a 24-bit subnet mask.
4. Enter
no shutdown
to activate the interface to pass data.
5. Enter
exit
to exit the Ethernet interface commands and return to the Global
Configuration mode.
6. Enter
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.254
to add a default route to the route table.
0.0.0.0 is the default route and the default subnet mask, and
10.10.10.254
is the next-
hop IP address to which the AOS router should send all of its traffic. You will need to
enter the proper route, subnet mask, and gateway for your network. This information
is typically provided by a service provider or local network administrator.
7. Enter

2. Check the DHCP server and record the IP address assigned to the NetVanta unit.
3. Open a web browser on any network PC that can route to the IP address recorded in
Step 2 and enter the NetVanta unit’s IP address.

CCESS THE
CLI
Access the AOS CLI via the
CONSOLE
port or a Telnet or SSH session. To establish a
connection to the NetVanta unit
CONSOLE
port, you need the following items:
■
PC with VT100 terminal emulation software.
■
Straight-through serial cable with a DB-9 (male) connector on one end and the
appropriate interface for your terminal or PC communication port on the other end.
g
NOTE
There are many terminal emulation applications available on the web. PuTTy, SecureCRT,
and HyperTerminal are a few examples.
1. Connect the DB-9 (male) connector of your serial cable to the
CONSOLE
port on the
back panel of the unit.
2. Connect the other end of the serial cable to the terminal or PC.
g
NOTE
Many PCs do not come with a standard serial port. A universal serial bus (USB) to serial
adapter can be used instead. The drivers for the USB to serial adapter must be installed
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If the USB to serial adapter is not properly
installed on your PC, you will not be able to communicate with the AOS unit and you should
seek support from the USB to serial adapter manufacturer.
3. Provide power to the unit as appropriate. Refer to the
Series Hardware Installation Guide
4. Once the unit is powered up, open a VT100 terminal session using the following
settings: 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. Press
ENTER to activate the AOS CLI.
5. Enter
enable
at the
>
prompt and enter the Enable mode password when prompted.
The default password is
password
.
You can also access the CLI from a Telnet or SSH client. In order to do this, you must know
the IP address of the AOS device. If you do not know the unit’s IP address, you must use
the
CONSOLE
port to access the CLI. To access the CLI using a Telnet or SSH client,
follow these steps:
1. Connect the NetVanta unit to your PC using an Ethernet cable connected to the
switch port labeled
1
on the back of the device or connect the NetVanta unit to an
existing network that supports DHCP using the switch port labeled
1
on the back of
the device.
2. Open a Telnet or SSH client on your computer and enter
10.10.10.1
. If your unit
received an IP address from a DHCP server or you have changed your unit’s IP
address, you will need to enter that address.
