Telnet Service (telnetd)

1. On the IOCOMM Main menu page, select Global configuration.
2. Select Network CLI service (telnetd).
3. Select Enable telnetd. This option allows or disallows an external user to operate a telnet connection to the IOCOMM.
4. If required, select Display login banner.
5. If required, select Display message of the day.
6. Select the type of authentication mode from the following:

   
   

   This disallows any access to the IOCOMM via a telnet connection.

   
   

   This asks for the password when a user attempts a telnet connection to the IOCOMM.

   
   

   This removes the need for authentication and no password will be asked for when a user attempts a telnet connection to the IOCOMM.

   
   The selected authentication method will be displayed on the page to verify your choice.

    

7. Select the Expert option for further administration settings, including:

   TCP port [23 ]

8. This option defaults to port 23 (normal telnet port).

   When using the default port number for telnet, the port number does not need to be specified when making the telnet connection. However, if you have changed the port number, you will need to specify it when issuing the telnet command. For example, to telnet to an IOCOMM called jaguar with a new port number of 45, the command would be:

   telnet jaguar 45.

   Granted capabilities

9. The items under Granted capabilities, specify the local and remote access capability to the telnetd service. Select boxes as required.

   
   Login (to remote host)

   This allows users to make an ongoing connection from the IOCOMM using telnet or rlogin.

   Framed access (PPP or SLIP connections)

   This allows users to run PPP or SLIP protocols on the IOCOMM.

   NAS (Command Line Interface)

   Network Access Server (NAS) enables access to the CLI with non-admin (user level) commands.

   Admin

   This enables access to the CLI with a full set of administration commands.

    

   Default command [shell ]

   The Default command field defines what happens when the login sequence completes successfully and shell will be most commonly used.

   The shell (default) command presents the user with a Command Line Interface from which they can run any command for which they have the necessary granted access.

   Example: To make an automatic connection to a specific host, the following could be used:

   rlogin -1 newuser signup.my.domain

10. To change the default command, delete existing text and type in your new entry.
11. Select Submit.
12. Select Return to the main menu.
