Using Technician Interface Software
xx
114088 Rev. A
Audience
Written for network managers and router technicians, this guide assumes that you
have a working knowledge of TCP/IP networking, and some familiarity with
network management principles concerning the MIB, SNMP, system event
messaging, file system and configuration management. The guide also assumes a
working knowledge of hardware elements commonly used in Bay Networks
routers, for example PROMs, Flash memory cards, and network cables.
Before You Begin
Before using this guide to run Technician Interface commands on a router or BNX
platform, you must
• Install the router or BNX platform
• Use one of the following methods to establish a connection to the router or
BNX platform:
-- Connect the serial port of an ASCII terminal device (for example, a DEC
VT100) directly to the console port of the router or BNX platform.
-- Connect the serial port of a workstation or PC directly to the console port
of the router or BNX platform. (Run ASCII terminal emulation software
on the workstation or PC.)
-- Dial in to the console port of the router or BNX platform from a
workstation or PC running ASCII terminal emulation software. (This
alternative requires one modem locally attached to your workstation or
PC, and another modem locally attached to the console port of the router
or BNX platform you want to access.)
-- Establish a Telnet (in-band) connection to the router or BNX platform.
Note:
In this guide, the term
system
refers to the router system software.
Note:
Before you can access the Technician Interface using Telnet, the router
or BNX platform must have at least one assigned IP address. Although there is
no limit to the number of Telnet connections that you can make to the
Technician Interface, we recommend that you establish no more than one
Telnet session per router or BNX platform.
