Tiara RoutersRouting with Tiara 1400 Router for NxT1 ConfigurationThe navigation and configuration of the Tiara 1400 is very much like the configuration of a Cisco product. Below the default login and password is noted:
Default Login: tiara The login and password can be changed. Click here for help adding users and changing passwords. Once logged in as the administrative user, you will be prompted with a > . Unlike the Cisco, you may begin configuring the Tiara 1400. No enable access is needed (since you are logged in as the administrative user). Once logged in, the user is at the diagnostic prompt. To begin configuring the Tiara 1400, use the following command:
TIARA 1400>configure term Configuration changes take affect immediately. However, the run time configuration must be saved to the stored configuration before any changes will remain after a reboot occurs. To exit the configuration mode press ctrl-z.
Displaying the ConfigurationsDisplaying Run Time Configuration: TIARA 1400> display configuration running Displaying Stored Configuration: TIARA 1400> display configuration stored These two commands can be implemented while in configuration mode as well as diagnostic mode. The configuration file can be erased using the following command: TIARA 1400> clear cfg_file Saving the Configuration LocallyAfter making configuration changes, the command to save the run time configuration to the stored configuration is below. Saving the configuration requires that you are in diagnostic mode. Press CTRL-Z to exit configuration mode and to enter diagnostic mode. Saving the Run Time Configuration to the Local Stored Configuration:
TIARA 1400> save local Saving the Run Time Configuration to Flash: TIARA 1400> save local [alternate file name] Saving the Configuration to a TFTP ServerCopies of the run time and stored configurations can be sent to a TFTP server. The commands to perform these tasks are below. Saving the stored configuration to a TFTP server: TIARA 1400> file upload flash_file [TFTP server ip address] SYSTEM.CFG [destination filename] Saving the Run Time Configuration to a TFTP Server: TIARA 1400> save network [TFTP server ip address] [destination filename] The configuration file that is stored on the TFTP server is a flat text file. The file can be modified using a standard text editor. Use extreme caution when modifying configuration files via text editors. Loading the Configuration From a TFTP serverA configuration file can be loaded into the NCM RAM. If you load the file in with the name SYSTEM.CFG you will overwrite the current stored configuration. If any other name is used, the configuration file will simply be stored in the NCM RAM with the alternate name. Loading a Configuration From a TFTP Server: TIARA 1400> file downloadNCM [TFTP server ip address] [source filename][destination file name] If the goal is to overwrite the existing stored configuration, the Tiara will need to be rebooted. Configuration TemplatesModify Administrative UserThe administrative username is tiara by default. This administrative username should be changed prior to connecting the Tiara 1400 to a public network. The user's password should be changed as well.
TIARA 1400> configure term Administrator account name changed to name:
TIARA 1400/configure> exit All usernames and passwords are stored in the boot ROM. The commands above modify the boot ROM directly. The configuration changes to usernames take affect immediately. There is no need to save the configuration. Even if the Tiara is rebooted the new username and password will remain. Add UserThe syntax to add a user is as follows:
TIARA 1400> configure term System NameA sensible hostname should be configured. Typically the hostname would reflect the location and hardware type. Hostname:
TIARA 1400> configure term Date and TimeConfigure the local time and date:
TIARA 1400> configure terminal Ethernet InterfaceConfigure an IP Address for One or Both Ethernet Interfaces:
TIARA 1400> configure terminal Configuring the speed and duplex is suggested. The auto speed option does not allow the configuration of duplex. The auto sensing of the proper duplex did not succeed during 100% of the testing. Individual T1sConfigure the Individual T1 Channels:
TIARA 1400> configure terminal The default configuration uses the ANSI FDL protocol. All T1s are enabled by default. The T1s not in use will produce red alarms. Hence all of the T1s are disabled before enabling the used T1s. This is done to avoid mistaking a port that has not been provisioned with a port that is actually down. IP ConfigurationTurn on IP Routing and Configure a Default Route:
TIARA 1400> configure term Frame Relay Bundle InterfaceConfigure the Frame Relay Bundle Interface:
TIARA 1400> configure term Optional Configuration ParametersSimple Network Monitoring Protocol (SNMP)The Tiara 1400 supports SNMP read and write functions.
TIARA 1400> configure term Packet FiltersThe Tiara 1400 implements packet filtering very much like the Cisco series routers. Filter profiles need to be created and applied to the appropriate interface(s). Creating Filter Lists:
TIARA 1400> configure term The syntax of the filter options is outlined below:
add [action] [protocol] [src address/mask] [dst address/mask] [compare options] [log options] The compare and log options can be viewed by using a ? after entering the destination address and netmask. The filter list must be applied to an interface before it will affect any traffic. Applying Filter Lists:
