Typing any of the commands listed above and depressing Enter will put the
console interface into that command mode. For example, form the IP address
prompt type ip and depress Enter. This will put the interface into “ip” where it
can now accept ip mode commands. While in ip mode or any other command
mode you may again type help or help all to list the commands available in that
mode. You will see the command appear after the IP address and before the
“greater than” sign. If you type help in ip mode you would see a menu such as
this:
?
disable
nat
rip
stats
arp
enable
norelay
route
subnet
config
help
ping
routes
version
device
ipatm
relay
snmp
If you at any time wish to return to the original undefined command prompt (the
first IP address prompt), type home and depress Enter and you will again see the
IP address prompt.
The commands restart, uptime and version are not command modes. The
restart command will restart (reboot) the Router. Remember that any changes
made to the configuration must be saved before the Router is restarted or the
changes will be lost. The uptime and version commands simply list the uptime
(amount of time the Router has been continuously operating) and the software
version of the unit.
Saving Changes
To save changes made to the Router configuration type config save and press
Enter, the current settings will be saved to nonvolatile RAM.
Finding the Password
If you forget the user name and password that allows you to access the web-based
manager you can retrieve this information using the console terminal interface.
To do this type flashfs cat initweb and you will see the user name and
password listed.
