Introduction

On a network, there may be many different types

of devices, including routers, switches, firewalls, l
oad balancers, servers, and computers. During d
atacom project implementation, you need to desig
n and plan data networks for running various data
com devices as well as configure the devices bas
ed on customer requirements, thereby implementi
ng specific network solutions.
To construct a data network, you must first maste
r the configuration and management methods of n
etwork devices.
Console Port

•To configure a device that has been powered on for t

he first time, you can log in to the device through a co
nsole port.
•The console port is a serial port provided by the main
control board of the device.
•Each main control board provides an EIA/TIA-232 D
CE type console port. The serial port of a user termin
al can be directly connected to the console port to imp
lement local device configuration.
Cable Introduction (1)

USB-RS232 Console Cable

One end of a console cable is an RJ45 connector, and the other end is a serial port connector. The RJ45 co
nnector is connected to the RJ45 console port on the device, and the serial port connector is connected to t
he computer. Currently, most desktop computers provide serial ports, and serial ports support console cabl
e connections. However, most laptop computers do not have serial ports. Therefore, if you use a laptop co
mputer, use a USB-RS232 cable for transfer.

Console Port

When you use a USB-RS232 cable, connect the USB end to the USB interface of the laptop computer, the RS232 conn
ector to the serial port of the console cable, and the RJ45 connector of the console cable to the console port of the man
aged device. After connecting the laptop computer and device in this manner, a configuration environment is successfull
y set up. You can then run the terminal emulation program on the computer to perform device management and configur
ation.

If cables are connected correctly, use the SecureCRT to log in to the device. After the
login succeeds, the SecureCRT CLI is displayed for you to interact with the device thr
ough commands.

VRP

•The Versatile Routing Platform (VRP) is a universal operating platform for

Huawei datacom products. The VRP focuses on IP services and adopts a

modular design. It implements abundant functions and features in addition

to providing application-based tailorability and scalability.
•Like Windows for PCs and iOS for Apple mobile terminals, the VRP is an
operating system for Huawei datacom products.

g the configuration-file parameter, the system displays a message asking you whether to na
me the configuration file vrpcfg.zip. The vrpcfg.zip file is the default configuration file with
empty configuration.
