Appendix C Supporting and Using Additional CLI Access Options
Starting a CLI Telnet Session
The following example shows the commands that accomplish this on a Cisco 2509-RJ Router.
User Access Verification
Password:
router>
telnet 10.1.1.1 2001
Trying 10.1.1.1, 2001 ... Open
Login:
In the example above, the user first logs into the terminal server and then establishes a Telnet session to
the terminal server using port 2001. All workstation communications pass through the Telnet server on
the terminal server and out the serial connection designated by port 2001.
Note
The built-in Telnet server on the switch, which is used by the other access methods, is not used
for this type of connection.
Step 3
If the Login prompt does not appear, press Return. The Login prompt comes from the switch and
indicates that the terminal has successfully connected to the switch.
Step 4
When the Login prompt appears, enter the login name supplied with your switch, and then enter the
password for that login name. For example:
Login:
superuser
password:
pop20one.7.PXM.a >
The switch does not display the password during login. When login is complete, the switch prompt
appears, you have established a CLI management session, and you are ready to begin switch
configuration and monitoring.
Starting a CLI Telnet Session
Start a CLI Telnet session when you start a CLI management session using any of the following access
methods, all of which require an IP address:
•
Local LAN connection
•
Dial-up connection
•
ATM WAN connection
The switch includes a Telnet server process that you can use to connect to and manage the switch. Before
you can establish a CLI Telnet session, you must set up the hardware for your access method and
configure the switch as described earlier in the appendix.
