Accessing the router
Login methods
The following logins methods are available for you to log in to the router:
•
Logging in through the console port, which is the most common way to log in to a router and also
the prerequisite for configuring other login methods.
•
Logging in through Telnet or SSH.
•
Logging in through the AUX port.
Logging in through the console port
You can log in only through the console port the first time you log in to your router.
Before you log in to the router, prepare an 8-core shielded cable, with a crimped RJ-45 connector at one
end, and a DB-9 male connector at the other end, and a PC with the operating system Windows
95/98/NT/2000/XP/7. This section uses a PC with Windows XP as an example.
Setting up a configuration environment
CAUTION:
When you disconnect a PC from a powered-on router, disconnect the DB-9 connector of the console cable
from the PC after disconnecting the RJ-45 connector from the router.
To set up a configuration environment:
1.
Plug the DB-9 female connector to the serial port of the configuration terminal.
2.
Connect the RJ-45 connector to the console port of the router.
