While the software is booting, the HBT (heartbeat) LED on the chassis flashes. When
the software finishes booting, the HBT LED goes dark and the OK LED lights up,
indicating that the SSR 2100 software is online. As the software boots, the management
console attached to the SSR 2100’s DB-9 DCE port displays messages related to the
phases of the boot sequence. When the software is fully booted, the following message
appears on the management console:
2. Press Return (or Enter) to activate the CLI on the console.
Starting the Command Line Interface
To start the Command Line Interface (CLI), power on the system. Startup messages
appear on the console (the terminal attached to one of the SSR 2100’s ports).
After the software is fully booted and you press Return (or Enter) to activate the CLI, the
CLI prompts you for a password. You can define separate passwords for login access and
Enable mode. The factory default password for both of these is set to blank. (Simply press
Return.)
Access Modes
The CLI has the following access modes:
• User – Allows you to display basic information and use basic utilities such as ping but
does not allow you to display SNMP, filter and access control list information, or make
other configuration changes. You can tell you are in User mode when the command
prompt ends with a “
>” character.
• Enable – Allows you to display SNMP, filter, and access control information as well as
all the information you can display in User mode. To enter Enable mode, enter the
enable command, then supply the password when prompted. When you are in Enable
mode, the command prompt ends with a “
#“ character.
• Configure – Allows you to make configuration changes. To enter Configure mode, first
enter Enable mode (enable command), then enter the configure command from the
Enable command prompt. When you are in Configure mode, the command prompt
ends with ”
(config)#.”
• Boot – This mode appears when the SSR 2100 or the system image is not found during
bootup. You should enter the reboot command to reset the router. If the SSR 2100 still
fails to boot, call Cabletron Technical Support.
Note:
The command prompt will show the name of the SSR 2100 in front of the
mode character(s). The default name is “ssr”. The procedure in “Setting Basic
System Information” on page 26 describes how to change the system name.
