COMMON CLI COMMANDS
The following are common CLI commands and tips for getting started with the CLI.
■Entering a question mark (?) shows contextual help and options. For example, entering ?at
the prompt will show all commands available from that prompt.
■To view interface statistics, enter show interfaces <interface type> <interface number>.
■To view the current configuration, enter show running-config.
■To view all the IP Addresses currently configured, enter show ip interfaces brief.
MANUALLY CONFIGURING THE UNIT’S IP ADDRESS
gNOTE
The configuration parameters used in the examples outlined in this document are for instructional
purposes only. Please replace all underlined entries (example) with your specific parameters to
configure your application.This step is unnecessary if the unit’s IP address has been configured
automatically using DHCP.
The following steps create an IP address and subnet mask for ETH 0/1. If you are not sure what
IP address to assign, please contact your network administrator.
1. At the # prompt, enter config terminal.
2. At the (config)# prompt, enter interface eth 0/1 to access the configuration parameters for
the ETH 0/1 port located on the rear of the unit.
3. Enter ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0 to assign an IP address to the ETH 0/1 port
using a 24-bit subnet mask.
4. Enter no shutdown to activate the interface to pass data.
5. Enter exit to exit the Ethernet interface commands and return to the Global Configuration
mode.
6. Enter ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.10.254 to add a default route to the route table. 0.0.0.0
is the default route and the default subnet mask, and 10.10.10.254 is the next-hop IP
address to which the AOS router should send all of its traffic. You will need to enter the
proper route, subnet mask, and gateway for your network. This information is typically
provided by a service provider or local network administrator.
7. Enter do write to save the current configuration.
CHANGE LOGIN PASSWORDS
1. To modify the user accounts and passwords, from the (config)# prompt, enter the com-
mand username <username> password <password.
2. To modify the Enable mode password, from the (config)# prompt, enter the command
enable password <password>.
3. To modify the Telnet password, from the (config)# prompt, enter the command line telnet
04and then press <Enter>. Enter the command password <password>.
4. Enter do write to save the current configuration.
4. The initial GUI screen appears.
ACCESS THE CLI
Access the AOS CLI via the CONSOLE port or a Telnet or SSH session. To establish a
connection to the NetVanta unit CONSOLE port, you need the following items:
■PC with VT100 terminal emulation software
■Straight-through serial cable with a DB-9 (male) connector on one end and the appropriate
interface for your terminal or PC communication port on the other end.
gNOTE
There are many terminal emulation applications available on the web. PuTTy, SecureCRT, and
HyperTerminal are a few examples.
1. Connect the DB-9 (male) connector of your serial cable to the CONSOLE port on the back
panel of the unit.
2. Connect the other end of the serial cable to the terminal or PC.
gNOTE
Many PCs do not come with a standard serial port. A universal serial bus (USB) to serial adapter
can be used instead. The drivers for the USB to serial adapter must be installed according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. If the USB to serial adapter is not properly installed on your PC, you
will not be able to communicate with the AOS unit and you should seek support from the USB to
serial adapter manufacturer.
3. Provide power to the unit as appropriate. Refer to the NetVanta 3200/3300/3400 Series
Hardware Installation Guide available online at https://supportforums.adtran.com for more
details.
4. Once the unit is powered up, open a VT100 terminal session using the following settings:
9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity bits, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. Press ENTER to
activate the AOS CLI.
5. Enter enable at the >prompt and enter the Enable mode password when prompted. The
default password is password.
You can also access the CLI from a Telnet or SSH client. In order to do this, you must know the
IP address of the AOS device. If you do not know the unit’s IP address, you must use the
CONSOLE port to access the CLI. To access the CLI using a Telnet or SSH client, follow these
steps:
1. Connect the NetVanta unit to your PC using an Ethernet cable connected to the ETH 0/1
port on the back of the device and an Ethernet cross-over cable. Alternatively, connect the
NetVanta unit to an existing network that supports DHCP using the port labeled ETH 0/1 on
the back of the device.
2. Open a Telnet or SSH client on your computer and enter 10.10.10.1. If your unit received
an IP address from a DHCP server or you have changed your unit’s IP address, you will
need to enter that address.
3. For SSH, log into the unit using the default login (admin) and password (password). For
Telnet, only the default password (password) is required.
4. Enter enable at the >prompt and enter the enable password when prompted. The default
password is password.
