  • Page 19: Attach Network Cables

    Installation Phase 3: Prepare the Router Hardware C. Attach Network Cables Depending on the model of router and the physical connections in your network, you will use one or more of the following interface options: AUI (page 1-12) BNC (page 1-14) Token Ring (page 1-16) FDDI (page 1-17) WAN (page 1-21)
  • Page 20 For single-height models, if the bottom of the router rests on a surface (such as a table) and you attach an HP transceiver directly to the AUI port (without an AUI cable), then attach the rubber feet you received in the accessory kit (page 1-3) to the bottom of the router to prevent the transceiver from supporting the weight of the router.
  • Page 21 Installation Phase 3: Prepare the Router Hardware 1. Slide the AUI retainer (included) onto the connector posts on a transceiver (also called a “MAU”) that corresponds to your type of network cabling, or on an AUI cable that is attached to a transceiver (whichever will attach directly to the router).

    Installation Phase 3: Prepare the Router Hardware D. Plug In and Verify the Router Hardware When you power up a router that is in the factory default state (or if you clear it by using the Clear/Reset button combination--page 2-17), the router sends Bootp requests over all active ports for one minute.
  • Page 31 Installation Phase 3: Prepare the Router Hardware If the router is not in the factory default state when you apply power, it configures itself according to the configuration that was most recently saved. N o t e The router does not have a power switch. The router is powered on when you plug in the power cord, and automatically adapts to the correct ac voltage range for your power source.

  • Page 34: Phase 4: Initialize And Verify The Router

    Installation Phase 4: Initialize and Verify the Router Phase 4: Initialize and Verify the Router This phase begins with creating or modifying the configuration in a router. If you are managing a router through the console port or over the network, you will need to perform most or all of these steps.
  • Page 35 Installation Phase 4: Initialize and Verify the Router This phase involves these steps: A. Creating or modifying a configuration (page 1-28) B. Booting the router (page 1-30) C. Setting the correct time and date (page 1-33) D. Setting Manager and User passwords (page 1-34) E.

  • Page 38: Boot The Router

    Installation Phase 4: Initialize and Verify the Router B. Boot the Router After you create or change a configuration (pages 1-28 and 1-29), boot- ing the router causes it to replace the former configuration with the newly created one. Thus, in all cases, you must boot (or reboot) the router when you are ready to implement any changes you have made in the configuration.
  • Page 39 Installation Phase 4: Initialize and Verify the Router NCL prompt Figure 1-25. The Default NCL Prompt 2. Boot the router (with your new configuration) by typing boot at the NCL prompt and pressing [Return]. DEFAULT_CONFIG: boot [Return] 3. If your router does not have a Manager password, go to step 4. But if the router has a previously set Manager password, you must enter the password before booting can proceed.
  • Page 40 Installation Phase 4: Initialize and Verify the Router 5. After the router boots (which takes only a few seconds), you will see the “speed sense” prompt: Waiting for speed sense. Press [Return] one or more times, as necessary, to re-synchronize the router with the console and to display the copyright screen.

  • Page 41: Set The Correct Time And Date (Optional)

    Installation Phase 4: Initialize and Verify the Router C. Set the Correct Time and Date (Optional) Each time you power up the router, it starts with a default time and date. Whether you set the correct time and date or not depends on how you want the time and date to be maintained in your network.

  • Page 42: Set Manager And User Passwords (Optional)

    Installation Phase 4: Initialize and Verify the Router D. Set Manager and User Passwords (Optional) Passwords are optional. If no password is set, anyone can access the router for viewing, booting, changing the configuration, resetting statistics or variables, and using various commands. User and manager passwords have the following functions: User password: controls viewing of statistics, event log, MIB variables, and configuration parameters.
  • Page 43 Installation Phase 4: Initialize and Verify the Router Setting a Password: 1. From the Main menu (page 1-27), select the Network Control Language Interpreter (NCL). The NCL prompt then appears at the bottom of the screen. It will be either DEFAULT_CONFIG: as shown below, or another name you have already configured for your system.

At the NCL prompt, enter one of the following commands: • For LAN and WAN circuits: get cct.cct-name.mac_addr [Return] • For FDDI circuits (HP Router BR only): get cct.fddi-name.ieee.addr [Return] where: cct-name or fddi-name is the configured circuit name for the port. Examples of circuit names are ETHER1, WAN1, TOKEN1, and FDDI1.
  • Page 88 Troubleshooting Diagnostic Tests Ping Ping is a network-layer test that sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request message to another node that has an IP address and is able to respond to an ICMP echo request message. The router must have IP routing configured in order to use this test.
  • Page 89 Telnet is an upper-layer service that allows you to interact with a remote node’s console interface, by establishing a virtual terminal connection. You make a console connection from an HP router that has IP routing and a Telnet session configured to a router or end node that has Telnet service and is suspected of not routing successfully.

    Back-to-Back Test Cables Two 5-meter, back-to-back, synchronous test cables are available from HP. These cables allow you to connect any HP router having a (62-pin) synchronous WAN port to another HP router (or an HP Remote Bridge) having the same port type, without using a modem eliminator, for up to 60 meters (200 feet).
