Setting Up Remote Administrative Access
You can configure the Ethernet interface on the processor card (CPU card) so that you can
Telnet to the ATM switch router and configure it remotely. This section describes how to
configure the Ethernet port for remote administrative access.
Note For local administrative access, connect a PC or workstation to the console port on
the processor card. This requires physical access to the ATM switch router.
Take these steps:
Step Command Purpose
1 Switch> enable
Enter privileged EXEC mode.
2 Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)#
Enter global configuration mode.
3 Switch(config)# ip route prefix
mask ethernet 0[.subinterface]
Configure a static route on the Ethernet
interface. If your management station or
TFTP
1
server is on a different subnet than
the switch, you must configure a static IP
route.

1 TFTP = Trivial File Transfer Protocol.
2 If you fail to configure a static IP route before installing a new image, you might lose remote administrative
access to the switch. If this happens, you can regain access from a direct console connection, although this
requires physical access to the console port on the processor card.
4 Switch(config)# interface
ethernet 0
Switch(config-if)#
Enter interface configuration mode on the
Ethernet interface.
5 Switch(config-if)# ip address
address
Configure an IP address on the Ethernet
interface.
6 Switch(config)# end
Switch#
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
