FTP Server, and Telnet & Web options

The Telnet and Web options are combined in the Web interface but separate in the control console.

Each of these options has a setting which enables (by default) or disables Access, and a Port setting that identifies the TCP/IP port used for communications with the Switched Rack PDU. The default Port settings are 21 (FTP), 23 (Telnet), and 80 (Web interface).

To enhance the protection provided by User Name and Password settings, change the Port setting to a unique port number from 5000 to 32767. After this change, when you log on, you must add a colon (:) (or a space, depending on your telnet client) and the non-default Port number to the IP address used. The following examples show the FTP, Telnet, and Web interface commands needed when the Port numbers have been changed to 5000 for FTP, 16512 for Telnet, and 32740 for HTTP at a management card with a System IP address of 159.215.12.114:

ftp 159.215.12.114:5000

telnet 159.215.12.114:16512

http://159.215.12.114:32740
