Terminal User Interface

Overview

The Terminal User Interface (TUI) is one of three router user interfaces. The other interfaces are the Web User Interface (WUI) and Command Line Interface (CLI). Each interface allows you to set up, modify, and view router configuration variables and operational data.

The Terminal User Interface is a system of hierarchical, character-based menus. See the nearby overview for a graphic map of the interface.

Each menu presents options and prompts you for a response. Options occupy most of a menu screen. The bottom of the screen provides information about expected responses…

  • Mandatory vs. optional
  • Allowable formats
  • Operation success or failure
  • Error messages
  • Directions on what to do next

This document often refers to menu screens with path notation. For example, consider the example in the following table…

IP addresses deliver packets of data across a network. These addresses differentiate the source and destination IP address and keep them constant. When a router port detects a packet, the router checks the routing table. The port attempts to match the network number of the destination IP address with its routing table entry. If the port finds a match, it forwards the packet to the destination network. With no match, the port forwards the packet to a router defined as the default gateway.

Subnet masks split one network into a set of mini networks or subnets. Subnetting helps to reduce traffic on each subnet. Subnetting also makes the network more manageable. Each subnet functions as if it were an independent network.
