Entering an NPK on a Router

The router stores its NPK in nonvolatile memory. To enter the NPK, you work in

the secure shell of the router. Follow these instructions to copy the NPK to the

router from the file you created using the Site Manager WEP tool. You enter an

NPK on each secure router.

To enter an NPK on a router:

At the Technician Interface, enter:

ksession

You enter the secure shell, which prompts you for the password.

Enter the password.

If you have not yet created a password, enter:

kpassword

If you have already created a password, enter:

Your password should be at least 10 to 12 characters long. It should not be

anything obvious. Change it often using the

kpassword

command.

The prompt changes to SSHELL>, indicating that you are in the secure shell.

To view NPKs, display the

wep_npk_file

, created by the

wfkseed

command.

On a PC, use an editor such as EDIT or Notepad.

On a Unix platform, use an editor such as vi or emacs in read-only mode. For

example:

vi -R a:/wep_npk_file

Using a text editor, copy the NPK for this router.

Note:

These instructions assume that you have connected a PC or UNIX

computer directly to the console port of the router. For instructions on

connecting a computer to the router console port, refer to the installation guide

that came with your router.
