Q
The router supports the following management interfaces:
■
GUI. Graphical user interface application, which executes on a management
workstation (see section 7)
■
CLI. Command line interface, which executes on the router and is accessed via
telnet or the serial port (see appendix A)
■
SNMP. Provides router status, traps, and alerts (see appendix D)

Recovery
It is prudent to have a process in place to recover from the failure of a router.
Consider the following when developing a recovery process for the router:
■
Save all firmware image files (updates) in a safe, well-know place, because you
may:
❑
Want to revert to a previous firmware version
❑
Need the firmware image when replacing a router
❑
Need the firmware image when adding a router to your site
■
Save the router’s configuration (as a new file) after every configuration change,
because you may:
❑
Want to revert to a previous configuration
❑
Need to configure a replacement router
■
Save the router’s mappings (as a new file) after every mapping change, because
you may:
❑
Want to revert to a previous mapping
❑
Need to map a replacement router
❑
Want to duplicate the mapping on a second router (for backup).

Services
You can configure your router to suit the demands of your environment using a
variety of router services. Familiarize yourself with the following router services and
determine which ones you need:
■
Telnet. Provides for the management of the router over a telnet connection.
■
Router management. Provides for out-of-band management of the router with
SANsurfer Router Manager.
■
Simple network management protocol (SNMP). Provides monitoring of the
router through third-party applications that use SNMP.
