==CLI/SSH Router configuration==

==CLI/SSH Router configuration==

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'.

After clicking '''Open''' you will need to enter router credentials.

Next, enter the login credentials:

<li>Login as: '''root'''</li>

 

<li>Password: routers admin password (by default admin01)</li>

login as: <b>root</b>

[email protected]'s password: <b><admin_password></b>

Now when you are connected you will need to make changes to network settings, this will be

 

achieved via SSH command: '''vi''', which allows you to edit settings in the router. Enter following

command in SSH:<br>

 

<li>'''vi /etc/config/network''' press latter '''i''' to be able to edit.</li>

Next, we'll have to edit the <b><i>network</i></b> config file using the built-in "vi" text editor. To begin editing the <i>network</i> config file:

 

vi /etc/config/network

 

Then hit the "I" key on your keyboard to enable editing.

 

There are two distinct configurations described below. One is a [[#Static_IP|static IP]] configuration for setting the new WAN port manually, the other is [[#DHCP|DHCP]] - for automatic network configuration of the new WAN port. Follow only the instruction that suits your needs.
