Attaching a Console

Logging on to
the System
You must attach a console to the bridge/router for initial software
configuration. For information about attaching a PC, terminal, or
modem, see the hardware installation guide for the bridge/router.
After you have configured the software, you can access the user interface
using one of the following methods:
Telnet to the bridge/router from a device (for example, a workstation)
on the same extended network or internetwork.
The software supports Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User
Datagram Protocol (UDP). These protocols allow you to Telnet to the
bridge/router using an Internet Protocol (IP) address. For more
information about using Telnet on a workstation, see the manual that
came with your Telnet application.
Use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to view and
configure a subset of the parameters from a remote host. For
information on preparing the bridge/router to run SNMP, see Using
Enterprise OS Software.
When your bridge/router starts up, it takes a few minutes to complete the
initialization process. While the bridge/router is initializing, several
messages appear on your terminal. The bridge/router has finished
booting when the following message is displayed:
