Introducing the Technician Interface
The Technician Interface provides management access to a Bay Networks router
by means of:
• Telnet (in-band) connection to the router
• Direct or dial (out-of-band) connection to the router’s console port
You can use the Technician Interface to install a router, and to maintain or
diagnose router operation.
In addition, you can use the Technician Interface to monitor and configure certain
basic functionality in a Bay Networks router. See Using Technician Interface
Scripts and Writing Technician Interface Scripts for more information about
performing these tasks.
