HUAWEI NetEngine80E/40E Router
Configuration Guide - Basic Configurations

1 Logging In to the System for the First Time

1.1 Introduction to Log In to the Device for the First Time
A user can log in to the router that is powered on for the first time through the console port or
by the plug-and-play function to configure the router.

Log in to the router through the console port
The console port is a linear port on the main control board.
Each main control board provides one console port that conforms to the EIA/TIA-232 standard
and whose type is DCE. The serial interface of a terminal can be directly connected to the console
port on the router. Users can then configure the router on the terminal.
NOTE

When a device is powered on for the first time, you must log in to the device through the console port. It
is a prerequisite for other login modes. For example, the IP address for Telnet login must be configured by
logging in to the device through the console port.

Log in to the router by the plug-and-play function
NOTE

The plug-and-play function only can be configured on the X1 , X2 and X3 models of the NE80E/40E.

During site deployment, the routers reside far away from the equipment room. Sending software
commissioning engineers to deploy the network at the site is quite costly. After the plug-andplay function is enabled, however, the router automatically obtains an IP address. Software
commissioning engineers are able to remotely deliver configurations to the router through the
NMS after installation personnel finishes hardware installation. This greatly simplifies
installation and reduces costs with minimized site visits.
The plug-and-play function is controlled by a PAF file and users do not need to configure it
manually. This function is automatically disabled after the router correctly obtains an IP address.

1.2 Logging In to the Device Through the Console Port
This section describes how to connect a terminal to a router through the console port to establish
the configuration environment.

1.2.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before logging in to the router through the console port, familiarize yourself with the applicable
environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required data. This will help
you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.

Applicable Environment
When the router is powered on for the first time, you need to use the console port to log in to
the router to configure and manage the router.

Pre-configuration Tasks
Before logging in to the router through the console port, complete the following tasks:

by a PAF file and users do not need to configure it manually. This function is automatically
disabled after the router correctly obtains an IP address. The process of logging in to the
router supporting the plug-and-play function is as follows:

Procedure
Step 1 After planning the network, network planning engineers provide a planning list for software
commissioning engineers.
Step 2 Based on the planning list, software commissioning engineers configure the mappings between
the router locations and IP addresses on the DHCP server, compile configuration scripts, and
configure the mappings between the router locations and scripts.
Step 3 Hardware installation personnel installs the router and power them on at the site.
Step 4 The router sends a DHCPREQUEST message to the DHCP server, and then the interface
connecting to the DHCP server obtains an IP address.
Step 5 The NMS delivers configurations to the router.
----End

Follow-up Procedure
If there is no DHCP server on the network or the router cannot obtain an IP address for some
reason, the router displays the following information:
PNP State!!!PLEASE UNDO PNP enable for manual Setup!
You can undo PNP in system view with "undo pnp enable"

At this time, do as follows to disable the plug-and-play function:
1.

Run the system-view command to enter the system view.

2.

Run the undo pnp enable command to disable the plug-and-play function.

3.

Run the undo pnp default route command to delete the default route generated by the
plug-and-play function.

2 CLI Overview

2.1 CLI Introduction
After you log in to the router, a prompt is displayed, indicating that you enter the command line
interface (CLI). The CLI is used by users to interact with the router.

2.1.1 Command Line Interface
You can configure and manage the router by using the CLI commands.
The characteristics of CLI are as follows:

l

Local or remote configuration through the AUX port.

l

Local configuration through console port.

l

Local or remote configuration through Telnet or Secure Shell (SSH).

l

Remote configuration by logging in to an asynchronous serial interface on the router
through Modem dialup.

l

The telnet command for directly logging in to and managing other routers.

l

FTP service for file uploading and downloading.

l

A user interface view for specific configuration management.

l

Hierarchical command protection for users of different levels, that is, running the
commands of the corresponding levels.

l

Three authentication modes are supported, namely, none-authentication, password
authentication, and Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) authentication.
Password and AAA authentication prohibit unauthorized users from logging in to the
router, guaranteeing system security.

l

Entering "?" for online help at any time.

l

A command line interpreter provides intelligent command resolution methods such as key
word fuzzy match and context conjunction. These methods make it easy for users to enter
their commands.

l

Network testing commands such as tracert and ping for rapidly diagnosing a network.

l

Abundant debugging information to help in diagnosing the network.

l

Running a command used previously on the device, like DosKey.
NOTE

l The system supports the command with up to 512 characters. The command can be incomplete. This
means that you can input initial characters (one or some) of the command to represent the whole
command. The incomplete command, however, must be unqiue in the system. For example, to use the
display current-configuration command, just input d cu, di cu, or dis cu. d c or dis c, however, cannot
be input, becuse they are not unique to represent the display current-configuration command.
l The system saves the incomplete command to the configuration files in the complete form; therefore,
the command may have more than 512 characters. When the system is restarted, however, the
incomplete command cannot be restored. Therefore, pay attention to the length of the incomplete
command.

2.1.2 Command Levels
The system manages commands in hierarchy for security. The administrator can set user levels
corresponding to command levels to implement user-specific access control.
