Telnet protocol
6
ATTENTION
The rule number assigned has to precede the default rule number for this protocol. For
example, in the defined policy, the Telnet rule number is 2, therefore to effectively block Telnet,
the rule number to assign must be 1.
If you choose not to use 1, you will need to delete the telnet rule number 2 after adding this
rule. Refer to “Deleting a rule to an IP Filter policy” on page 157 for more information on
deleting IP filter rules.
6. Save the new ipfilter policy by typing the ipfilter --save command.
7. Verify the new policy is correct by typing the ipFilter --show command.
8. Activate the new ipfilter policy by typing the ipfilter --activate command.
switch:admin> ipfilter --activate BlockTelnet
9. Verify the new policy is active (the default_ipv4 policy should be displayed as defined).
switch:admin> ipfilter --show
