Connect personal computer (PC) and establish local CLI session using MGMT LAN serviceport

Procedure 14-20.2: Connect personal computer (PC) and establish local CLI session using MGMT LAN serviceport

Overview

Use this procedure to connect PC and establish a local CLI session with the VLNC40/VLNC42/VLNC60/VLNC61/VLNC64 circuit pack using the MGMT LAN port on the faceplate of the circuit pack.

This procedure assumes that the proper connection interfaces have already been configured using the procedures in Procedure 14-21: Configure VLNC40/VLNC42/VLNC60/VLNC61/VLNC64 for in-band or out-of-band connectivity.

This procedure also assumes that Telnet or secure shell (SSH) access has been configured. See Telnet Commands and/or Secure Shell (SSH) commands in the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS-5) Command Line Interface Guide.

Steps


1	Obtain the IP address of the MGMT LAN port from your network administrator, if required, or use the default IP address if it has not been changed. Default IP addresses may be one of the following: For R4.1 and later releases: 169.254.1.1 for VLNC40, VLNC42, VLNC60, VLNC61 and VLNC64 For releases prior to R4.1: (192.168.0.2 [VLNC40]), (192.168.0.3 [VLNC60]). Important! You must also obtain a user name and password if the default user name of `admin` has been changed.
2	Connect the MGMT LAN port on the faceplate of the VLNC40/VLNC42/VLNC60/VLNC61/VLNC64 circuit pack to the NIC card of the PC. If you are connecting the PC directly to the NE, use the LAN 10Base-T cross-over cable. If you connecting the PC to a hub, use the LAN 10Base-T straight-through cable. Important! If you are uncertain that the MGMT LAN port or Ethernet network LAN port has already been provisioned, connecting via the serial port is recommended.
3	Establish a Telnet or secure shell (SSH) session from your PC using the default IP address or the IP address obtained from your network administrator. Result: The login `User` prompt displays when the terminal interface initializes.
4	Enter user name and password. Important! The default User name is `admin` and the password is blank. Result: The User EXEC prompt [`(ALU 1850TSS-5-xx) >`] displays. The prompt may be changed using the `set prompt <prompt_string>` command in the user privilege mode.
5	Refer to the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS-5) Command Line Interface Guide, for help on using the CLI commands. End of steps
