Entering an NPK on a Router

The router stores its NPK in nonvolatile RAM. 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.

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 manual that came with

your router.

To enter an NPK on a router:

1. At any shell prompt on a UNIX platform, or at the DOS prompt on a PC,

enter

ksession

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

2. Enter the password.

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

anything obvious. Change it often.

The prompt changes to SSHELL.

3. To view NPKs, display the wep_npk_ﬁle.

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

example:

vi -R a:/wep_npk_ﬁle

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

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

5. At the SSHELL prompt, enter the kset command followed by a space,

and paste in the NPK.

kset NPK 0x <NPK_value>

You must enter the NPK value in hexadecimal form, and you must include the

0x notation.
