Telnetting to the Node IP Address and Slot Number
Users can telnet to the Cisco IOS CLI using the IP address and the slot number of the
ONS 15454 SONET/SDH plus 2000.
Note A Cisco IOS startup configuration file must be loaded and the ML-Series card must be installed and
initialized prior to telnetting to the IP address and slot number plus 2000. See the “Startup Configuration
File” section on page 3-7 for more information.
Note If the ONS 15454 SONET/SDH node is set up as a proxy server, where one ONS 15454 SONET/SDH
node in the ring acts as a gateway network element (GNE) for the other nodes in the ring, telne tting over
the GNE firewall to the IP address and slot number of a non-GNE or end netwo rk element (ENE) requires
the user’s Telnet client to be SOCKS v5 aware (RFC 1928). Configure the Telnet client to recognize the
GNE as the Socks v5 proxy for the Telnet session and to recognize the ENE as the host.
Step 1 Obtain the node IP address from the LCD on the front of the physical ONS 15454 SONET/SDH or the
IP Addr field shown at the CTC node view (Figure 3-2).
Step 2 Identify the slot number containing the targeted ML-Series card from either the physical
ONS 15454 SONET/SDH or the CTC node view (Figure 3-2). For example, Slot 13.
