Out-of-Band File Transfers from a UNIX Workstation
This section provides the procedures you need to
• Open a dial connection between your workstation and a specific router.
• Transfer files to or from a router.
• Close (hang up) the connection between the workstation and router.
Opening a Connection
On a SunOS
platform, you can use the Terminal Interface Program or tip
command to
• Establish a connection to the Technician Interface port of a router.
• Initiate file transfers to and from the router.
• Close the connection between the remote workstation and the router.
For detailed information about how to set up and use
tip and its related files
(/etc/phones and /etc/remote) on a Sun workstation, enter
man tip at the UNIX
command line prompt. The workstation responds by displaying all of the
information that is available on
tip in the UNIX online command reference
manual. You enter modem interface settings into the /etc/remote file. You enter
dial information (a telephone number) in the /etc/phones file.
Transferring Files from a Router to a UNIX Workstation
To transfer one or more files from a Bay Networks router to your UNIX
workstation, use the following procedure:
1. At the UNIX command line prompt, enter a cd command to change from
the current directory to the directory that should receive the files you
want to transfer from the router.
2. Enter a tip command on the workstation to open a dial connection
between the workstation and the desired router. For example:
tip modem0
modem0
designates the workstation port that accommodates the dial modem
attached to the workstation. The system displays the following message:
Connected
