Configuring Direct Port Access via Telnet, IP Address or SSH
The information in this topic is specific to enabling direct port access for
serial targets. Use the Enable Direct Port Access via URL option on the
Device Services page to enable direct port access for a KVM/serial port
connect to the KSX II. See Enabling Direct Port Access via URL (on
page 143).
To configure direct port access:
1. Choose Device Settings > Device Services. The Device Service
Settings page opens.
2. Type the IP address and ports used for SSH and Telnet in the
appropriate fields for each serial target.
Note that leaving all three fields blank will disable direct port access
for the serial target. To enable direct port access, you must do one of
the following:
Enable global Telnet or SSH access.
Input a valid IP address or TCP port in at least one of the three
fields.
Important: It is not recommended that more than one of these fields
is populated.
Below are examples of Telnet and IP:
Direct Port access via IP alias address:
Configure the IP alias address 192.168.1.59 for a serial target.
Once this is done, connection to the target through Telnet can be
done using "telnet 192.168.1.59".
Direct Port access via Telnet port:
Configure the Telnet TCP Port as "7770". Once this is done,
connection to the target can be done using "telnet <KSX II device
IP address> 7770".
Direct Port Access via SSH Port:
Configure the SSH TCP port as "7888". Once this is done,
connection to the target can be done by using “ssh –l <login>
<KSX II device IP address> -p 7888”.
