Example:
The V-Switch is named V-Switch 1 at 13:30 in the afternoon on 21 March
2002. Its management port, eth1, has the IP address 212.199.43.46. Anna
Levin, at phone extension 4838 is the contact person in the event of technical
difficulties.
device set –n VSwitch1 –ip 212.199.43.46 –d 21/04/2004 –
t 13:30 –c AnnaLevin. –loc ext4838 –if eth1
Telnet Port
If you are working in
a V-Switch cluster,
the interface alias
must be changed on
both V-Switches.
If your Telnet communications connection to the V-Switch traverses a
firewall, the standard Telnet communications port 23 may be blocked by
the firewall as a security measure. To enable Telnet communications to
the V-Switch, you can designate an alternate port using the CLI command
device set -telnet. This port can be opened in the firewall for
dedicated Telnet-V-Switch communications.
device set -telnet
Example:
The port 1597 is programmed as the Telnet communications port.
device set -telnet 1597
Use the CLI command info to check the V-Switch’s designated Telnet port.
