Use this option to define the IP address of the TFTP server used to

 

download configuration files (0.0.0.0, by default).

FTP Client

Use this option to define the IP address of the FTP server used to

 

download configuration files (0.0.0.0, by default), as well as the case-

 

sensitive User Name and Password settings (apc is the default for both)

 

used to protect FTP access.

FTP Server, Telnet, Each of these options has a setting which enables (by default) or

and Web

disables Access, and a Port setting that identifies the TCP/IP port used

 

for communications with the Management Card. The default Port

 

settings are 21 (FTP), 23 (Telnet), and 80 (Web interface).

You change a Port setting to any port number between 5000 and 65535 to enhance the protection provided by User Name and Password settings. However, if you do, you must use a colon (:) to add the non- default Port number to the IP address used. The selected port number must be unique. The following examples show what the FTP, Telnet, and Web interface commands could look like when the Port numbers for all three interfaces have been changed from their default settings at a Management Card with a System IP address of 159.215.12.114:

ftp 159.215.12.114:5000 telnet 159.215.12.114:59401 http://159.215.12.114:65002
