configure telnet access-profile
configure telnet access-profile [<access_profile> | none]
Description
Configures Telnet to use an ACL policy for access control.
Syntax Description
Default
Telnet is enabled with no ACL policies and uses TCP port 23.
Usage Guidelines
You must be logged in as administrator to configure Telnet parameters.
You can restrict Telnet access by using an ACL and implementing an ACL policy. You create an ACL
policy file that permits or denies a specific list of IP addresses and subnet masks for the Telnet port. You
must create the ACL policy file before you can use this command. If the ACL policy file does not exist
on the switch, the switch returns an error message indicating that the file does not exist.
Use the
none
option to remove a previously configured ACL.
Creating an ACL Policy File.
To create an ACL policy file, use the
edit policy
command. For more
information about creating and implementing ACL policy files, see
Chapter 13, “Policy Manager,”
and
Chapter 14, “Access Lists (ACLs),”
in the
ExtremeWare XOS Concepts Guide
.
If you attempt to implement a policy that does not exist on the switch, an error message similar to the
following appears:
Error: Policy /config/MyAccessProfile.pol does not exist on file system
If this occurs, make sure the policy you want to implement exists on the switch. To confirm the policies
on the switch, use the
ls
command. If the policy does not exist, create the ACL policy file.
Viewing Telnet Information.
To display the status of Telnet, including the current TCP port, the virtual
router used to establish a Telnet session, and whether ACLs are controlling Telnet access, use the
following command:
show management
access_profile
Specifies an ACL policy.
none
Cancels a previously configured ACL policy.
