Remote Management
You can manage remote routers as easily as you manage the local router a
terminal is connected to. From a terminal connected to any port (with either
USER or MANAGER privilege), enter the command:
TELNET ipadd
to Telnet to the remote router, specifying the remote router’s IP address.
For information about how to set routes and on how you assign an IP address
to your router, see “Setting Routes” on page 21 and “Assigning an IP Address” on
page 20.
If the connection is successful, a login prompt from the remote router is
displayed. Login using a login name that has been defined with MANAGER
privilege (such as the default MANAGER login name), and enter the
password.
To return to the local router and terminate the connection, enter the command:
LOGOFF
For more information about using Telnet, see the Terminal Server chapter in the
AR400 Series Router Software Reference.
Storing Files in FLASH Memory
When you purchase the router, the router software release, the online help files,
and a default configuration file are stored in FLASH memory, where they are
saved even if the router is powered down. You will use the FLASH memory to
store updated software releases or patches, and files that record the router’s
configuration.
The router also has Random Access Memory (RAM). The router software uses
RAM to run the router. When you enter commands to configure the router
these commands affect the dynamic configuration in RAM.
FLASH memory is like a flat file system, with no subdirectories, containing
files with a filename up to eight characters long, and a three character
extension (see Table 5 on page 30). You can save, list, rename and delete files in
FLASH.
To display the files in FLASH, enter the command:
SHOW FILE
