The NetVanta 5660 is configured using the command line interface (CLI). Entering a
question mark (?) at the command prompt displays contextual help and all commands
available from that prompt.
This NetVanta unit ships with a statically assigned IP address of 10.10.10.1 and the ability
to connect to a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) network and receive an IP address
assignment from a DHCP server. When connecting to a DHCP network, this unit supports
Zero-Touch Provisioning, allowing the NetVanta router to download and apply configuration
parameters from a configuration management server.

ECEIVE
1. Connect the router to an existing network that supports DHCP using the GIG 0/2
Gigabit Ethernet port on the front of the device. The NetVanta unit will automatically
request an IP address assignment from the DHCP server.
2. Check the DHCP server and record the IP address assigned to the NetVanta unit.

CCESS THE
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.

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.
