Establishing a Connection Through the Management Ethernet Interface
The Management Ethernet interface allows you to manage the router using a network connection. Before
you can use the Management Ethernet interface, the interface must be configured, as described in the
"Configuring the Management Ethernet Interface" section on page
Once configured, the network connection takes place between client software on a workstation computer
and a server process within the router. The type of client software you use depends on the server process
you want to use. The Cisco IOS XR software supports the following client and server services:
•
•
To start a Telnet network connection, you start the Telnet client software with a command similar to the
following:
telnet ManagementEthernetInterfaceIPaddress
For specific instructions on connecting to the router through a Telnet or SSH client, see the instructions
for that software.
Ask your system administrator for the IP address of the Management Ethernet interface.
When the Telnet session is established, the router prompts you to log in, as described in the
to a Router or an SDR" section on page
Logging In to a Router or an SDR
The login process can require users to enter a password or a username and password before accessing
the router CLI. The user groups to which your username is assigned determine which commands you can
use.
If you log in to a router with a single SDR configured (this is the default configuration), you can manage
the entire router. If you log in to the owner SDR on a system with multiple SDRs, you can manage
general features that apply to the entire system and the interfaces assigned to the owner SDR. If you log
in to a named SDR, you can manage only that SDR.

Telnet clients can connect to a Telnet server in the router. The Telnet server is disabled by default
and can be enabled with the telnet ipv4 server or telnet ipv6 server command in global
configuration mode.
Secure Shell (SSH) clients can connect to an SSH server in the router. The SSH server is disabled
by default and can be enabled with the ssh server command in global configuration mode. The SSH
server handles both Secure Shell Version 1 (SSHv1) and SSHv2 incoming client connections for
both IPv4 and IPv6 address families.
If no text or router prompt appears when you start the Telnet session,
press Enter to initiate communications.
If the router has no configuration, the router displays the prompt:
Enter root-system username:
password when prompted.
If the router has been configured, the router displays the prompt:
Username:
Enter a username and password when prompted.
