 Introduction

This paper deals with basic configuration procedures and

operation of HUAWEI routers.

They are basic procedures, but indispensable for the success of a

activation or alteration activity with the client, avoiding failure,
undesirable situation as it brings financial losses, damage to image and
devastatingly motivational to the mutual business sphere.

We want to alert the technician that good understanding, assimilation and

the application of the information contained in this document will bring great
conquests for all.

Who it is intended for

This work is aimed at all field technicians who participate in the

Activation and Change of network settings for Embratel customers
to all professionals who interact directly or indirectly with
such activity.

Course objectives:

- Familiarize the technician with the Standard Script;

- Enhance your skills in operating Huawei routers;
- Practice the update of VRP;
- Practice password cracking on Huawei routers;
- Extract useful information from the router through some commands from
diagnosis

 BASIC KIT OF A FIELD TECHNICIAN

For Activation / Deactivation / Change activities it is essential that the

the technician should be equipped with the following equipment and software, thus avoiding
setbacks, damage to the image of the coach, as well as to the companies involved.

Notebook with serial interface

Modem for dial-up access

Network cable (Direct and Cross)

USB drive (for storage => IOS / VRP)

Software Hyper Terminal or Tera Term Pro

TFTP32 server software

Basic tools: screwdrivers / Philips, cutting pliers / nose, multimeter.

VRP UPDATE VIA TFTP HUAWEI 29XX

1 – Access the TFTP application.

TFTP IP OF DESKTOP GET [Link] (Copy Desktop to Router).
TFTP IP FROM DESKTOP PUT [Link] (Copy Router to Desktop).

VRP UPDATE VIA FTP HUAWEI 29XX

1- Access FTP server

2- <HUAWEI> FTP SERVER IP
3- Authenticate with the requested username and password
4- User: EBT
5- Password: EBT
6- Download the VRP = GET NAME OF [Link]

BREAK THE CONSOLE ACCESS PASSWORD

Turn on the Router

Ctrl + B to access the boot menu
Option 6 - Ignore System Configuration
Option A or 0 – reboot

From this point, the router will initialize disregarding the file with the configuration.
of the client (without the passwords) contained in the CF (Flash), thus providing default access to
router.
Follow the steps below to reconfigure the new password while preserving the client's configuration!

1-In the router prompt use the command screen length disable to prevent
pagination.
2-Execute the command display saved-configuration
3-Select all the configuration, copy and paste it into a notepad, wordpad file.
or another text editor and save it on your desktop.
4-Still in the text editor locate the lines:
local-user 'type the new user'
Type the new password
5- On the router prompt, enter configuration mode by typing system view
6-Copy/Paste the new script to the router, now the router operates in Real-time with the
client configuration but with the new password.
7-Save as [Link]
save [Link] confirm with 'yes'
[huawei]quit you CTRL +Z
reboot confirm with 'yes'

 BOOT procedure of the ROUTER via ETH0

(Loading the VRP via ETH 0 of the Router)

The following procedure will be necessary if the VRP is corrupted.

In this case, the Huawei router will display the screens below, just follow the sequence
below for router loading via tftp / ETH 0

OBS.
On the PC, configure the TFTP: point to the directory where the VRP is located:
1- c:\[Link]
2- configure the IP to the PC(host) = [Link]
3- Connect the crossover cable (PC x Router ETH0)

Procedure for Updating CF Card Files (VRP and [Link])
via USB.

The following procedure will be necessary to update the Flash files.

In this case, just follow the sequence below:

Note.
A USB PenDrive device is required with the [Link] (VRP) file and/or file
[Link] to copy it to the router's CF Card

<Quidway>cd usba0:
Quidway
Quidway
<Quidway>dir
Directory of usba0:/

copy [Link] cfa0: Let's copy the desired file to the CF Card
Copy usba0:/[Link] to cfa0:/[Link]?[Y/N]:y
The file cfa0:/[Link] exists. Overwrite it?[Y/N]:y
..........................................................
Note:
Repeat the process for each file you want to update on the Cf Card (Flash)
