Incoming Logins Getting Started
3-6
If the MSS encounters an Ethernet network problem while booting it will send an alert
message to the console and wait ten seconds to detect serial port activity before attempting
to finish booting. If you press the Return key when the error message is displayed, you will
access the Boot> prompt.
If the MSS fails to properly download code and displays a “will try again” message, you
can access the Boot> prompt by pressing the Return key. You can then enter the Change
Server IPaddress command at the Boot> prompt to set the unit’s IP address.
Note: For more information on Boot Configuration Program (BCP)
commands, see the Troubleshooting appendix.
3.3 Incoming Logins
Incoming Telnet logins, including connections to network socket ports and the remote
console, are enabled by default. This behavior can be changed with the Change Incoming
command and one of the following parameters:
Telnet Enables incoming Telnet logins
None Disables all incoming logins
For security reasons, you may wish to disable incoming logins. Incoming logins for a port
can be disabled with the Change Access command (see Access Mode on page 4-9 for more
information).
Note:
Access to the remote console port can never be disabled.
If you do not want to completely disable incoming logins, you can configure the MSS to
require a login password for incoming connections with various commands, depending on
the type of incoming connection. See Login Passwords on page 3-2 for more information.
3.3.1 TCP/IP Logins
3.3.1.1 Web Browser Login and Configuration
If your MSS has an IP address, you can log into it using a standard web browser with Java
enabled. Simply type the MSS IP address or resolvable text name into the browser’s URL/
Location field.
