VPN-Lite Manual Setup Using Telnet
The following section will guide you to setup you VPN-Lite servise using the Telnet command line interface.
Before you start please refer to the Before you start section in this document see page 4.
1. IP Management:
a. Telnet to the Billion 810VGTX using the router’s LAN IP address (default = 10.0.0.2) using this
command: “telnet 10.0.0.2”.
This will access the Billion 810VGTX’s CLI interface allowing you to send setup commands. On
successful connection, you will be prompted for a login and password (defaults: admin &
admin). See screenshot below.
Enter your administration login & password. On successful authentication you will arrive at
the admin prompt. (See screenshot below.)
b. Setting the DHCP Server: This task is optional. If you want your Billion 810VGTX to act as a
DHCP server – distributing IPs to your LAN PCs – please perform this step.
Set the router’s DHCP range to the correct target range using this command:
Syntax: dhcpserver subnet 1 add iprange <Target range network address> <Target
range subnet>
Example: dhcpserver subnet 1 add iprange 1 10.0.17.0 255.255.255.0
This router will now distribute IPs to connected PCs from the range 10.0.17.1 -> 10.0.17.254
Note: Alternatively, if you prefer to use static IPs on your network and you wish to disable the
router’s DHCP server feature, please run this command: dhcpserver disable
