Command line interface (CLI) – Runs on the router, which you can accessusing telnet or the serial port (see the iSR6142 Router CLI User's Guide). SNMP – Provides router status, traps, and alerts (see Appendix B)RecoveryIt is prudent to have a recovery process in case a router fails. Consider thefollowing when developing a router recovery process: Save all firmware image files (updates) in a safe, well-known place, becauseyou may: Want to revert to a previous firmware version. Need the firmware image when replacing a router. Need the firmware image when adding a router to your site. Save the router’s configuration (as a new file) after every configurationchange, because you may: Want to revert to a previous configuration. Need to configure a replacement router. Save the router’s mappings (as a new file) after every mapping change,because you may: Want to revert to a previous mapping. Need to map a replacement router. Want to duplicate the mapping on a second router (for backup).
