Initiate A Console Session; Configure The Ethernet Port Parameters - ADTRAN NetVanta Series Quick Configuration Manual

Initiate a Console Session

1. Connect a VT100 terminal (or PC with VT100 emulation software) to the NetVanta
CONSOLE port using a DB-9 (male) to DB-9 (female) straight-through serial cable.
2. Configure the COM port with the following parameters:
Data Rate: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Parity Bits: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None
3. Open a VT100 terminal session. (Please refer to the appropriate VT100 terminal software
documentation for detailed instructions.)
4. Press the <Enter> key.
5. Enter enable at the > prompt.
6. Enter the password when prompted. The default password is password.
7. You are now at the # prompt. At the # prompt, enter config terminal to enter the Global
Configuration mode.

Configure the Ethernet Port Parameters

Typically you will have a master unit at the campus location, and a slave unit at a remote location.
The following sections describe how to set up and configure both the master and slave units.
1. At the (config)# prompt, enter interface eth 0/1 to access the configuration parameters for
the Ethernet port located on the rear panel of the unit.
2. Enter ip address 10.10.20.7 255.255.255.0 to assign an IP address to the Ethernet port
using a 24-bit subnet mask.
If you are accessing the NetVanta via Telnet, once you change this IP address, you will
lose connection to the NetVanta. You must change the IP address of your PC before you
can proceed.
ADTRAN recommends that you set the Ethernet speed and duplex to match the switch or
hub into which it is plugged.
For example:
3. Enter no shutdown to activate the interface to pass data.
4. Enter exit to exit the Ethernet interface commands and return to the Global Configuration
mode.
The NetVanta Network Interface Modules (NIMs) use a slot/port notation for interface
identification. All non-modular interfaces built into the base unit (e.g., the Ethernet port) are
identified using 0 as the slot number.
