Connectrix DS-32M2 User Guide
Configuring the Switch
Enabling Telnet
Select this option from the Configure menu to enable or disable Telnet
access to the switch. Telnet access allows users at remote
workstations to use the command line interface or perform other
tasks on the switch. (Refer to Appendix D for more information about
the command line interface.)
If the Enable Telnet box is checked, Telnet access is enabled. Clicking
the box adds/removes a checkmark.
DS-32M2s are normally installed inside the Connectrix cabinet and
connected to the private Ethernet LAN inside the cabinet. A DS-32M2
can be installed outside the Connectrix cabinet and still be managed
by Connectrix Manager; however, this requires that the switch be
configured with a public IP address to which the Connectrix service
processor is also connected.
If you configure a DS-32M2 to reside on a public LAN and you do not
plan to use the command line interface (CLI), you should disable it in
Connectrix Manager. If you do plan to use the CLI, change the default
password in order to prevent others from logging in to the switch via
the CLI. (Refer to login on page D-11 for information on changing the
CLI passwords.)
