Huawei Devices

Using SSH, Telnet or direct console connection:

For this procedure you will be using the Command Line Interface (CLI) of your Huawei Router using an SSH client (such as OpenSSH or Putty), Telnet or through the console port. We would recommend using either SSH (for remote connections) or using a direct connection to the console port. Telnet provides no encryption of the communications and therefore your authentication credentials and configuration would be vulnerable if a malicious user were to monitor your connection.

1. Connect to the Huawei Router using your favourite SSH client, Telnet or a direct console connection.

   You may need to set the baud rate to the appropriate speed for your device. On our Huawei test device, the baud rate was 115200

2. Login using your administration authentication credentials.

3. If you see ATSO=1 displayed, then press ENTER to login

4. Execute the following CLI command and capture the output (possibly using the cut and paste facility):

   Copy

   display current-configuration

5. Save the captured output to a file and if necessary remove any visible page lines (i.e. --More--).

6. The resulting file should now be auto-detected as a Huawei Router device when entered into Nipper.
