Interface Naming Conventions

A number of commands described in this document require you to identify the router interface to be affected by
the command. This requires specifying both an interface type (denoted intf-type) and an interface index
(denoted id).
The intf-type argument may be replaced with one of the following keywords:
adsl | aux | dds | ethernet | isdn | sdsl | t1 | wan | serial
If a command is not specific to a particular WAN interface type, the intf-type wan may be specified; otherwise,
the more specific intf-type must be specified.
Note:
For IDSL interfaces, use the keyword isdn.
The id argument can be replaced with 0, 1, or 2, as follows:
■ 0 means the motherboard
1 means the WAN 1 slot
■
2 means the WAN 2 slot
■
So, for example, the ethernet hublet is identified as "interface ethernet 0". In some contexts, only a WAN
interface may be specified, in which case the command syntax will specify wan-id instead of the more general
id. The wan-id argument can be replaced by either 1 (the WAN 1 slot) or 2 (the WAN 2 slot) on R-Series
equipment.
Security (Configuration Access)
If the device is password-protected, the device requires you to enter a name and password before you can
access the menu-based or command line console interface. See the section
Commands" on page 2-3.

Entering and Editing Commands

The device's console user interface comes up in Menu mode by default. In this mode you use the arrow,
Escape, and Return/Enter keys to navigate through a series of screens. To invoke the command line at any
time, type Control-N. The console will erase the window, and you will be presented with a # prompt. To return to
Menu mode type Control-N again.
