Hello

To configure network devices in like switches,routers,ras's and other network devices in command mode " vt100 setup " is requiired.

the program you need is called ' minicom' -- you can type "man minicom" for usage instructions

There are two ways actually for me. One is to use the software interface which is packaged with ur routers (or even print servers).
U accessed it mainly by web browsers.

Another way is to use telnet. To connect to a router for example with an ip : 192.168.1.1

Just type at command prompt

----> telnet 192.168.1.1
Then press enter.

For the web browser just type the ip address and go for it.
