Setting the Telnet Port
Setting the Telnet Port
The Telnet access port can be set to any number between 0 and 65535. The Telnet port
enables you to access and maintain the PortMaster using a Telnet connection to this TCP
port. If 0 (zero) is used, Telnet administration is disabled. The default value is 23. Ports
numbered 10000 through 10100 are reserved and should not be used for this function.
Up to four administrative Telnet sessions at a time can be used.
To set the Telnet access port to port number
Tport
, use the following command:
Command> set telnet Tport
Using the Telnet Port as a Console Port
If the console port is set from a Telnet session, the current connection becomes the
console. This feature is useful for administrators who log in to a port using Telnet and
need to access the console for debugging purposes.
Note – Only one Telnet session can receive console messages at a time.
To set the current Telnet access port as a console port, enter the following command:
Command> set console
Setting the Number of Management Application Connections
PMVision, ChoiceNet, and the ComOS utilities pmdial, pmcommand, pminstall,
pmreadconf, pmreadpass, and pmreset all use port 1643. In order for more than
one of these applications to connect at the same time, you must set the maximum
number of connections to two or higher. The maximum is 10 connections.
To set the maximum number of concurrent connections for management applications
into the PortMaster, use the following command:
Command> set maximum pmconsole Number
Setting System Logging
PortMaster products enable you to log authentication information to a system log file for
network accounting purposes.
