Interface Naming Conventions
A number of commands described in this document require you to identify the router interface to be affected by
the command. This requires specifying both an interface type (denoted
intf-type
) and an interface index
(denoted
id
).
The
intf-type
argument may be replaced with one of the following keywords:
adsl | aux
|
dds
|
ethernet
|
isdn
|
sdsl
|
t1
|
wan
|
serial
If a command is not specific to a particular WAN interface type, the
intf-type
wan
may be specified; otherwise,
the more specific
intf-type
must be specified.
Note:
For IDSL interfaces, use the keyword
isdn
.
The
id
argument can be replaced with 0, 1, or 2, as follows:
■
0
means the motherboard
■
1
means the WAN 1 slot
■
2
means the WAN 2 slot
So, for example, the ethernet hublet is identified as “interface ethernet 0”. In some contexts, only a WAN
interface may be specified, in which case the command syntax will specify
wan-id
instead of the more general
id
. The
wan-id
argument can be replaced by either
1
(the WAN 1 slot) or
2
(the WAN 2 slot) on R-Series
equipment.
Security (Configuration Access)
If the device is password-protected, the device requires you to enter a name and password before you can
access the menu-based or command line console interface. See the section “Configuration Access
Commands” on page 2-3.
Entering and Editing Commands
The device’s console user interface comes up in Menu mode by default. In this mode you use the arrow,
Escape, and Return/Enter keys to navigate through a series of screens. To invoke the command line at any
time, type
Control-N
. The console will erase the window, and you will be presented with a
#
prompt. To return to
Menu mode type Control-N again.
