system and enter these basic configuration parameters. Procedures for starting and setting up the SP Switch Router are found in GRF 400/1600 Getting Started V.14, GA22-7368.

Ignore the prompts for network logging, since we will configure logging to a PCMCIA device; just press Enter when asked to enter the remote logging host name or its IP address.

•Remote Telnet access is working. To enable it, you have to edit the /etc/ ttys file on the SP Switch Router and modify the appropriate entries, as follows:

#name	getty	type	status	comments
ttyp0	none	network secure
ttyp1	none	network secure
ttyp2	none	network
ttyp3	none	network

Adding secure to a ttypX stanza opens it for Telnet, so in this example, only two Telnet sessions at a time were allowed.

Use the following command to connect to the SP Switch Router:

xterm -sb -geometry 80x65 -e telnet <hostname of SP Switch Router>

This gives you a large window with a scroll bar at the left, so that you may retrieve information easier. See Appendix B.1, “/root/.profile” on page 261 for a modified .profile for the root user.

Hint: If you just use -e telnet and give the hostname at the telnet> prompt, the window will survive reboots of the GRF.
