3.2.3 Other Incoming TCP/IP Logins
3.2.3.1 Telnet
To log into the MSS, type “Telnet” followed by the MSS IP address.
Figure 3-4: A Telnet Connection
Unlike Remote Console Logins (see page 3-5), incoming Telnet logins do not require that the user
enter a login password.
3.2.3.2 Rlogin
Rlogin allows users to connect to a remote device as if they were on the local network. Rlogin is
enabled by default.
3.2.4 Incoming LAT Logins
To get an MSS login prompt when connecting from a LAT host, use the command below and
substitute the last six bytes of the MSS hardware address for xxxxxx.
Figure 3-5: LAT Login
3.3 Serial Port Logins
One way to connect to the MSS is to attach a terminal to the console port and press the Return key.
If there is a problem during the boot process, you can press any key to get the Boot prompt. This
prompt enables you to enter a special set of commands, called Boot Configuration Program (BCP)
commands, which are discussed in Appendix B.
If the unit passes its power-up diagnostics and completes the boot procedure, the Local> prompt
should be displayed. Proceed to Chapter 4 to configure the unit using the command line interface.
