DETAILED STEPS
Command or Action
Step 1 Install and configure the terminal
server.
Step 2
Connect the terminal server to the
Console port of the target RP or DRP.
Step 3
Power on the router.
Step 4 Identify the target RP or DRP.
Step 5
telnet access-server-address port
OL-17436-01
Purpose
Prepares the terminal server for communications with the router and with
Telnet clients.
This step is usually preformed once.
•
For router access, users need the Telnet server IP address and port
•
number for each RP they access.
For additional information on configuring terminal services, including
•
terminal servers and templates, see the Cisco IOS XR System
Management Configuration Guide.
Establishes a communications path between the terminal server and the
router.
• During the initial router setup, you can communicate with the router
only through the Console port of the primary RP.
The router Console port is designed for a serial cable connection to a
•
terminal or terminal server.
The terminal settings are:
•
Bits per second: 9600/9600
–
– Data bits: 8
– Parity: None
– Stop bit: 2
Flow control: None
–
To enable terminal server connections to the Console ports on multiple
•
RPs and DRPs, install a cable between each Console port and the
terminal server.
Starts the router.
This step is required only if the router power is not on.
•
Identifies the RP or DRP to which you connect in the next step.
This step is not required when the router hosts only one RP or DRP.
•
On a Cisco CRS-1 router, the active RP or DRP is identified by a
•
lighted Primary LED on the RP front panel.
On a Cisco XR 12000 Series Router, the active RP is identified by the
•
alphanumeric display: ACTV RP.
If you cannot look at the RPs, use a Management Ethernet interface
•
connection to determine which RP is active, or establish terminal
server connections to both RPs and then try both.
Establishes a Telnet session with the terminal server.
Replace access-server-address with the IP address of the terminal
•
server, and replace port with the terminal server port number that
connects to the target RP Console port.
