Logging In To The Router - Huawei AR550 Series Quick Start Manual

Logging In to the Router

1
Use a console cable to connect a PC to the console interface of the router.
NOTE If your PC's operating system provides terminal simulation software (like HyperTerminal in Windows 2000), you do not
need to install additional terminal simulation software. If the PC runs on an operating system without terminal
simulation software (like Windows 7), install third-party terminal simulation software on the PC by referring to user
manual or online help.
A PC may have more than one serial port. Select the port connected to the console port. Generally, COM1 is used. If
you modify the serial port communication parameters on the router, modify the communication parameters on the PC
to ensure that they use the same communication parameters, and then set up the connection again.
2
Start the terminal simulation software, create a connection, specify the connected port, and set
communication parameters as follows:
Bits per second (B): 9600
Data bits (D): 8
Parity (P): None
Stop bits (S): 1
Flow control (F): None
3 Press Enter until a message is displayed asking you to enter the username and password. (The following
information is for reference only.)
The default user name is admin and the default password is Admin@huawei.
NOTE
Login authentication
Username:admin
Password:
<Huawei>
Info: The entered password is the same as the default. You are advised to change
it to ensure security.
If you forget the login password, restore the password according to the Troubleshooting.
CAUTION
After successful login, you can configure the router on the command line interface. For more information,
see the CLI-based Configuration.
To configure the router using the web system, perform the following steps (only applicable to AR530 and
AR550 series industrial switching routers of V200R005C70 and later versions).
4
Connect a PC to the management interface of the router using an Ethernet cable.
Configure a management IP address for the router.
5
For example, set the management IP address to 192.168.1.1/24 on GE0/0/0.
<Huawei> system-view
[Huawei] interface gigabitethernet 0/0/0
[Huawei-GigabitEthernet0/0/0] ip address 192.168.1.1 24
Now, the management IP address of the router is set to 192.168.1.1.
