2. Accessing the DSL Router
2-2 November 2003 6300-A2-GB20-10
Local Console Access
Your user account can be configured with one user login name and different
passwords for accessing a CLI session. The DSL router ships with the local
console enabled. After login, the local console can be disabled.
To disable with the local console, type:
console disable
save
exit
Press Enter after each command that you type.
Entering console disable results in NO local access to the DSL router. If
you attempt to log in, you will receive an error message.
After saving this change and ending the session, there is no local access
through the console port. Any access must be through a Telnet session or
the NMS.
To determine via a Telnet session whether a console is enabled, enter:
show console
One of the following messages is returned:
— console enabled – Command line management is available at the
console.
— console disabled – No command line management is available at the
console.
Changing Access Session Levels
To change the Administrator access level, enter:
admin enable
This command provides Administrator access privileges. The router responds
with a prompt to enter the password for Administrator access.
To end the Administrator access level, enter:
admin disable
This command ends the Administrator session. No password is needed.
Entering exit has the same result. Refer to Exiting from the System on
page 2-7 for further details on ending a session.
To determine the access level for a session, refer to Determining the Current
Access Level on page 2-5.
