Configuring the

Router

Router Configuration

The 5600 unit can be used as either a router or a bridge. The following
instructions are for configuring the 5600 in router mode (default
configuration). To configure the 5600 in bridge mode, refer to “Bridge
Configuration” on page 18.

NOTE: In the factory configuration, the user interface can only be

accessed from the LAN or via the serial port. Advanced users can also
use Telnet or a web browser from the WAN side once they have
allowed WAN access to router servers. The 5600 uses a feature called
network address port translation (NAPT) to control access to the
router and the LAN from the WAN. See the “Advanced Setup”
portion of the web-based management interface for instructions on
setting up NAPT to enable WAN-side access.

Step 1: Assign an IP Address to your PC

Using DHCP to Assign an IP Address

Before you can use your computer over a network, it must have an IP
address. The router contains a dynamic host configuration protocol
(DHCP) server that will automatically assign an IP address to the PC if the
PC is set to obtain an IP address from a D HCP server. If you have set up
your router and computer according to the installation instructions, follow
these steps to get an IP address via DHCP if you are running a PC with
Windows 95/98:

1 Select Start > Settings > Control Panel
2 Double click the Network icon
3 Select TCP/IP from the list of network components. Select Properties.
4 Select the IP Address tab and ver ify that Obtain an IP address

automatically

Efficient Networks Router Configuration 13

is selected. If not, then click this button.

5 Click OK twice.

Manually Assigning an IP Address

If you prefer, you can also specify an address manually.

• IP address range 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.254

• Subnet Mask: 255.0.0.0

• Default gateway: 10.0.0.1

Step 2: Setting the Password

The router has no password protection as configured from the factory. As
soon as you log into the router, you should set the password. This can be
done in one of two ways :

• from the web interface by clicking on the “Set Password” link

• from the command line interface using the set password command

Password protection can be disabled again by entering the current
password an d a blank for the new password . If the pa ssword is f orgotten,
the router can be set to the factory default state from the serial port during
the boot process. Refer to “Restoring the Factory Default Configuration”
on page 30 for more information on this procedure.

NOTE: It is wise to restrict physical access to the router to prevent the

accidental or malicious defaulting of your configuration.

Step 3: Configuring the Router

Once your PC has an IP address, you can configure the router using either
the web interface or the command line interface.

Configuring the Router through the Web Interface

NOTE: Consult your service provider for your encapsulation type.
Creating a Virtual Circuit using PPP Encapsulation (default):

1 Start your web browser

Step 5: Testing the Configuration

After completing the configuration process, you can test the operation of
the bridge by starting a Web browser and accessing a remote web site such
as

http://www.efficient.com. Alternatively, you can open an MS DOS (or

shell) window and issue a “ping <i p_addr ess>” co mmand t o a know n host
on the wide-area network.

Step 6: (Optional) FTP Access for Firmware/Configuration Uploads

Using FTP, you can:

• Upload a new revision of the router firmware

• Save the router’s current configuration to a file on the host computer

and then upload the configuration to another 5600 router.

To log into the router via FTP:
1 If using Windows on a PC, select Start > Programs > Command

Types of User Interfaces

The 5600 router provides two user interfaces in both bridge and router
mode:

• Web interface – provides simple setup screens for quick configurat ion

and an advanced configuration interface.

• Command-line user interface – allows quick configuration and

provides status and configuration information. Only the command-line
interface is available over the serial port connection.

Web I nte rfa ce

The web interface for the router first displays a page showing the current
configuration of the router. The first page also has a menu with links to the
following web pages:

Simple Setup Presents configuration forms where you can enter the

minimum configura tion parameters need ed to configure
the router for use on the network.

Advanced Setup Leads to a more detailed interface with several links that

allow more in-depth configuration of the router. This
interface provides a menu with links to the following web
pages:

• Configuration Procedures

• Status and Statistics

• Command List

Command Line Interface

A detailed guide to configuring the router using the command lin e
interface is available on the “Advanced Setup” page of the web interface.

Command Prompt/Error Prompt

The following are the conventions used during a command session.
Normally, the command line prompt is:

Command->

However, if there has been a non-fatal error during power-on self test
(POST), the prompt wil l display as :

post_error->

If you see this prompt, you can connect to the router via serial port and
reboot the unit. When the router reboots, the POST error messages will be
displayed to the serial console. Contact Efficient Networks Customer
Support to report the problem.

Using the Command Line Interface

The following commands and keystrokes can be issued from the
Command-> prompt:

help Displays the conventions described below.
? Displays the top-level command set.
<cmd> ? Displays help for the command <cmd>. For example, to see

all “set” comma nds, type set ?.

ESC– or ESC+ Scrolls through the last commands executed. Type ENTER to

execute the command displa yed.

[Control+U] Erases the entire line.
[Backspace] Backs up one character
[Control+C] Aborts the current comm and-line ent ry.
