− | For the next part you will be configuring router via SSH. For this you need to use the command line interface (CLI) or a SSH software if you’re using Windows or iOS. In this example software '''putty''' will be used. Open '''putty''' enter routers LAN IP address and press '''Open'''.<br><br>
| + | |
| + | The next step of the configuration will be done over SSH/CLI. For this example we'll be using "PuTTY" - a free SSH client that can run on Windows. |
| + | |
| + | Open "PuTTY", enter the router's LAN IP address into the "Host Name (or IP Address)" field and click 'Open'. |
