Huawei S9300: Example for Logging In to the Device Through a Console Port

Networking Requirements

When you cannot remotely log in to the device, you can perform local login through a console port. If you log in to the device through a console port, only password authentication is required. To improve security, use AAA on the console user interface.

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

1. Use the terminal simulation software to log in to the device through a console port.

2. Configure the authentication mode of the console user interface.

Procedure

Step 1 Use the terminal simulation software to log in to the device through a console port.

1. Insert the DB9 connector of the console cable delivered with the product to the 9-pin serial port on the PC, and insert the RJ45 connector to the console port of the device, as shown in Figure 2.

2. Start the terminal simulation software on the PC. Establish a connection, and set the

connected port and communication parameters.

NOTE

A PC may have multiple connection ports; therefore, the port connected through the console cable is selected in this example. Generally, COM1 is selected.

If the serial port communication parameters of the device are modified, modify the communication parameters on the PC accordingly (ensure that the parameter values are the same) and re-establish the connection.

3. Press Enter until the system prompts you to enter the password. (The system will prompt you to enter the user name and password in AAA authentication. The following information is only for reference.)

Login authentication

Password:

You can run commands to configure the device. Enter a question mark (?) whenever you

need help.

Step 2 Configure the authentication mode of the console user interface.

<Quidway> system-view

[Quidway] user-interface console 0

[Quidway-ui-console0] authentication-mode aaa

[Quidway-ui-console0] user privilege level 15

[Quidway-ui-console0] quit

[Quidway] aaa

[Quidway-aaa] local-user huawei password cipher Huawei@123

[Quidway-aaa] local-user huawei privilege level 3

[Quidway-aaa] local-user huawei service-type terminal

After the preceding operations, you can re-log in to the device on the console user interface only

by entering the user name huawei and password Huawei@123.
