Connecting to the CLI Interface

An MSR series with the factory default configuration offers three methods of connecting

to the CLI: via the serial-port console connection, via Ethernet port fast-Ethernet 0, or via

the default wireless SSID.

Console Connection

The console connection is the most reliable method of accessing the MSR series’ CLI

configuration interface. This serial console port is for connecting a local management

console and can be used to access CLI (Command Line Interface) to configure, manage

and troubleshoot the router.

The MSR series router has a DB9 serial console port that is for connecting a terminal

with a straight through cable. Use the communications settings in Table 2 for connecting

to a terminal.

Ethernet Connection

The Ethernet connection is another method of accessing the MSR series router. At

shipping time, the Ethernet port 0 (sometimes labeled as the WAN port) of the MSR

series router has a default IP address 192.168.0.1/24. A PC or laptop with a statically

configured IP address may connect to this port via SSH and access the CLI to configure

the router.

Note: The console and the Ethernet connections are the most secure methods of

accessing the router CLI. Both methods require a username and a password. The

default username is root and password is public.

Wireless Connection

The wireless connection is also a method of accessing the MSR series router. At

shipping time, a default SSID “Azalea” is provided by the MSR series router. The

configuration for this default BSS is shown in Table 3
