Accessing the CLI Using a Router Console
Using the Console Interface
To access the CLI using the console interface, complete the following steps:
Step 1 After you attach the terminal hardware to the console port on the router and you configure your terminal
emulation software with the proper settings, the following prompt appears:
Press Return for Console prompt
Step 2 Press Return to enter user EXEC configuration mode. The following prompt appears:
Router>
Step 3 From user EXEC configuration mode, enter the enable command as shown in the following example:
Router> enable
Step 4 At the password prompt, enter your system password. The following example shows entry of the
password called “enablepass”:
Password: enablepass
Step 5 When your enable password is accepted, the privileged EXEC mode prompt appears:
Router#
Step 6 You now have access to the CLI in privileged EXEC mode and you can enter the necessary commands
to complete your desired tasks.
Step 7 To exit the console session, enter the quit command as shown in the following example:
Router# quit
Accessing the CLI from a Remote Console Using Telnet
This section describes how to connect to the console interface on a router using Telnet to access the CLI.
Preparing to Connect to the Router Console Using Telnet
Before you can access the router remotely using Telnet from a TCP/IP network, you need to configure
the router to support virtual terminal lines (vtys) using the line vty global configuration command. You
also should configure the vtys to require login and specify a password.
Note To prevent disabling login on the line, be careful that you specify a password with the password
command when you configure the login line configuration command. If you are using authentication,
authorization, and accounting (AAA), you should configure the login authentication line configuration
command. To prevent disabling login on the line for AAA authentication when you configure a list with
the login authentication command, you must also configure that list using the aaa authentication login
global configuration command. For more information about AAA services, refer to the
Cisco IOS
Security Configuration Guide and Cisco IOS Security Command Reference publications.
