Configuration Menu

Navigation: Main > Configuration > Console

There are three privilege levels:

• Logged out (off): denies access to all submenus. Users are only allowed access to the privilege and help options of the Main menu.

• Read-only (readonly): allows read-only privileges for all submenus. Only those commands that do not modify the configuration may be used.

• Read/write (write): allows users complete read and write access to all submenus and options.

Keep in mind the following when setting privilege levels and passwords:

• Only read-only and read/write privilege levels can be password protected.

• You can always go from a higher privilege level to a lower privilege level without a password. If you try to go to a higher privilege level, you must type the password.

• Passwords are case sensitive.

To Set a Privilege Level:

Enter one of [off, readonly, write] : 
 

Step 2   Type the first letter of your selection and press Enter.

Step 2   Select Console from the Configuration menu.

Step 3   Select the appropriate password option from the Configuration Console menu:

• Rpassword: For read/only privilege

• WPassword: For read/write privilege

• None: Type this text string if no password is needed

Step 4   If you choose RPassword or WPassword, the following message appears:

Enter one of [none, a password of 	between 5 	and 10 										characters] :
 

Step 5   Type your password and press any key. The following message appears:

Enter the password again, one of [none, a password of between 5 and 10 characters] :
 

Step 6   Retype your password for confirmation.

Note   After a privilege level is assigned, anyone attempting to access that level is prompted for the password; therefore, you can set various privilege levels for individuals, providing them with access to some options while denying them access to others. Remember that passwords are case sensitive. If an incorrect password is typed, the console pauses briefly before reprompting. The connection is dropped after three consecutive failures, and a severe error log is displayed.

Caution Make sure you write down the passwords you have established and keep them in a safe place. If you forget your password, the bridge will have to be returned for factory servicing. Please contact Cisco Technical Support for further instructions.

Navigation: Main > Configuration > Console > Communities > Display

An SNMP community consists of the following:

• Name: The default set of communities is Public, Proxy, Private, Regional, and Core. You can define up to six community names. When a Network Management Station (NMS) requests information from the unit's agent, the community name in the request must match one of the names on the SNMP communities list.

• Access Mode: Displays the community access modes - Read-Write and Read Only. The default access mode is Read Only.

• NMS IP Addresses: (Optional) Displays a list of allowed NMS IP addresses of the community. You can define up to five IP addresses. The default setting is Any.

• NMS NID (Node ID): (Optional) Displays a list of allowed node IDs of the community. You can define up to five node IDs. The default setting is Any.

• Read-only (read): Allows gets and get-nexts on any readable variable.

• Read/write (write): Allows gets and get-nexts on any variable, as well as set requests on writeable variables.

The default access setting for all community names is Read Only access.

Note   An error response is returned to the NMS if the NMS is trying a set request used with a community that has Read Only access.

If the terminal or emulation program you are using supports the ANSI escape sequences, you should use ANSI.

• Teletype mode: Displays text with little or no formatting. Screens are not cleared prior to new screens appearing.

• ANSI mode: Provides text in a formatted manner. In addition, the screen is cleared before each new screen is displayed.

The Console does not automatically complete any typed commands or information when a space or carriage return is inserted.

To enable linemode, select Main > Configuration > Console > Linemode.

Note   Some Telnet programs automatically invoke linemode by sending the appropriate Telnet commands when they connect to the bridge.

Most configuration settings become effective as soon as the command is executed. Those that do not immediately become effective are noted in the command information.

Navigation: Main > Configuration > Dump

To Back Up Configurations:

Note   Commands may vary depending on the communications program used.

Step 2   From Telnet's Terminal pull-down menu, choose Start Logging and name the file.

Step 3   Select Main Menu > Configuration > Dump.
The following message appears:

Enter one of [all, non-default, distributable, ident, radio, filter, other]: 
 

Step 4   Type one of the following options after the colon:

• All: to display the entire configuration.

• Non-default: to display only the configuration options that are different from the original default settings.

• Distributable: to display only the configuration options that are not considered unique to this bridge. You can use the menu sequence Main > Diagnostics > Load > Distribute to send this configuration to other bridges in the infrastructure.

• Ident: to display only configuration options pertaining to the bridge's network identifiers. See Chapter 6, "Setting Network Identifiers."

• Radio: to display only configuration options pertaining to the bridge's radio network parameters. See Chapter 4, "Configuring the Radio Network."

• Filter: to display only configuration options pertaining to the bridge's filters. See Chapter 9, "Using Filters."

• Other: to display other configuration options.

Step 5   Type one of the following options:

• Standard: to display the configuration in normal readable text form.

• Encoded: to display each configuration command by a unique number. This type of configuration is the best to save because the number never changes during the life of the product. Text may change or move as more items are added to the menus.

After you have typed one of these options, the configuration commands appear on the screen.

Step 6   Press Enter.

Step 7   Press Enter again to refresh screen.

Step 8   Choose Stop Logging from Terminal pull-down menu. See Step 2.
