Quick Install Guide 7 Configuring the Router AR400 Series routers can be configured via the Command Line Interface (CLI) or Graphical User Interface (GUI). Using the CLI to configure a router: 1. Initiate router start-up. Using the terminal cable supplied, connect a VT100-compatible terminal, or the COM port of a PC running a terminal emulation program such as Windows Terminal, to the Console RS-232 (ASYN0) port on the router’s rear panel.
AR400 Series Router See the AR400 Series Router Software Reference for more information on router start-up and configuration procedures (including a list of message definitions). Using the GUI to configure a router: This section describes how to access the GUI via VLAN1, when the PC and the router are in the same subnet, in order to configure the router. The router’s switch ports all belong to VLAN1 by default. The GUI requires a PC and web browser. Supported browsers are Internet Explorer 5.
Quick Install Guide 9 3. Enable IP. At the CLI, enter the command: enable ip 4. Assign an IP address to VLAN1. Assign the VLAN1 interface an IP address in the subnet that the PC uses, using the command: add ip interface=vlan1 ip=ipaddress mask=mask 5. Browse to the GUI. If you access the Internet through a proxy server, set your browser to bypass the proxy for the IP address you assigned to the VLAN1 interface. Point your web browser at the IP address of the VLAN interface. 6.
AR400 Series Router 2. Connect to the DMZ (AR450S) If you have a public server, use an Ethernet patch cable to connect it to the AR450S router’s Ethernet DMZ (ETH1) port. Separating public servers from your LAN allows the firewall to provide greater protection for your LAN. If you have multiple public servers, you can connect them to a hub or Layer 2 switch and connect that device to the router’s DMZ port. 3. Connect to the WAN.
