Connecting via Telnet

To manage the IAD via the LAN (or Intranet), you must set an IP address for the Ethernet port before you can use Telnet to access the IAD.

NOTES Although you can also access the IAD using Telnet via the WAN (provided a management DLCI or PVC is configured along with a WAN IP address), this section describes connecting via the LAN. For information about setting the IP address of the WAN port, see Chapter 6, WAN Configuration on page 48.

If you configure a RADIUS server, you must use a RADIUS- authenticated User ID/password for Telnet access. If the RADIUS server or the connection to the RADIUS server goes down, Telnet access will not work. For information about configuring a RADIUS server, see RADIUS Server Settings on page 26.

Running Telnet

Before you use Telnet to log in to the IAD, make sure that the IAD and your PC are connected to the same network via straight-through Ethernet cables (or directly connected via a cross-over cable), and you know the IP address of the IAD. Both devices must be on the same subnet.

Follow these steps to log in:

1.Run Telnet on your PC.

2.Type the IP address of the Ethernet port (page 12), click Connect and then press Enter to gain the attention of the IAD.

3.The IAD responds by displaying the log in message:

Enter Login ID >

4.Type your user ID and press Enter.

NOTE After a period of inactivity (three minutes by default), the IAD automatically terminates console-based and Telnet sessions to maintain security. To change this value, see Configuring the Console Timeout Period on page 36.

Default user IDs and passwords are listed in Table 2–2on page 11. For information on security levels, and user ID and password management see IAD Security on page 23.

5.The IAD displays the password message:

Enter Password >
