Accessing the DSL Router
2
Access Control to the DSL Router
The Hotwire DSL Router can be managed from an NMS using SNMP or from the
command line interface. There are two methods to access the command line
interface:
H Local access at the DSL router through the Console port, or
H
Access by a Telnet session (controlled through the management interface at
the Hotwire chassis).
When a local console connection is first established, a login prompt appears. The
Hotwire DSL Router accepts only one login session at a time. The DSL Router is
configured at the factory with a default login ID and password. However, to
provide login security to the DSL system, configure a new login ID and password.
Levels of Access
There is one login ID and two levels of privileges on the Hotwire DSL system.
Your user account can be configured with one user name and different
passwords for:
H Administrator. The Administrator has two levels of access to the DSL router.
— Administrator, non-configuration mode: Provides read-only capabilities.
This is the same level of access as Operator.
— Administrator, configuration mode: Provides complete write access to the
DSL router. However, MIB sets are done from the NMS vs. the command
line.
H
Operator. The Operator has read-only access to display device information
with no modification permission and no access to management functions.
Refer to Appendix A, Command Line Interface , for access level details for each
command line entry.
