REMOTE MANAGEMENT

Telnet

administrator forgot to configure a static route on the remote site, System 2. Because System 2 is not on the same subnetwork as the Telnet client on System 1’s LAN, a static route is needed to allow System 2 to communicate with devices on Network 1. Because the CyberSWITCH had no Telnet client capabilities in previous releases, the only way to fix the problem was to physically go to the remote site and add a static route.

The second example network shown illustrates the current CyberSWITCH release. System 1 has Telnet client capabilities, and therefore can simply Telnet to System 2 and add the needed static route.
