Chapter 3 Configuring General Router Features
DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action
Step 1 Install and configure the terminal
server.
Step 2
Connect the terminal server to the
Console port of the target RP or DRP.
Step 3
Power on the router.
Step 4 Identify the target RP or DRP.
Step 5
telnet access-server-address port
OL-24755-01
Purpose
Prepares the terminal server for communications with the router and with
Telnet clients.
This step is usually preformed once.
•
For router access, users need the Telnet server IP address and port
•
number for each RP they access.
For additional information on configuring terminal services, including
•
terminal servers and templates, see Cisco IOS XR System Management
Configuration Guide for the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.
Establishes a communications path between the terminal server and the
router.
• During the initial router setup, you can communicate with the router
only through the Console port of the primary RP.
The router Console port is designed for a serial cable connection to a
•
terminal or terminal server.
The terminal settings are:
•
Bits per second: 9600(default value)
–
– Data bits: 8
– Parity: None
– Stop bit: 2
Flow control: None
–
For information on the cable requirements for the Console port, see
•
the hardware documentation listed in the
section on page x.
•
Starts the router.
This step is required only if the router power is not on.
•
For information on power installation and controls, see the hardware
•
documentation listed in the
Identifies the RP or DRP to which you connect in the next step.
This step is not required when the router hosts only one RP or DRP.
•
On a Cisco XR 12000 Series Router, the active RP is identified by the
•
alphanumeric display: ACTV RP.
If you cannot see the RPs, use a Management Ethernet interface
•
connection to determine which RP is active, or establish terminal
server connections to both RPs and then try both.
Establishes a Telnet session with the terminal server.
Replace access-server-address with the IP address of the terminal
•
server, and replace port with the terminal server port number that
connects to the target RP Console port.
