8 Accessing Another Device
About This Chapter
To manage configurations or operate files of another device, you can access the device by using
Telnet, STelnet, TFTP, FTP, or SFTP from the device that you have logged in to.
8.1 Accessing Another Device
To manage configurations or use files on a device other than the device you are logged in to,
you can use Telnet, FTP, TFTP, or SSH to access that device.
8.2 Logging in to Other Devices Using Telnet
On most networks, multiple routers need to be managed and maintained, but it may be impossible
to connect some of these routers to a PC terminal. In other cases, there may be no reachable
route between a router and a PC terminal. You can log in to a local router and then use Telnet
to log in to remote routers to complete management and maintenance tasks.
8.3 Logging in to Another Device Using STelnet
STelnet provides secure Telnet services. You can use STelnet to log in to another router from
the router that you have logged in to and manage the device remotely.
8.4 Accessing Files on Another Device Using TFTP
You can configure the router as a TFTP client, and log in to the TFTP server to upload and
download files.
8.5 Accessing Files on Another Device Using FTP
This section describes how to configure a router as an FTP client to log in to a FTP server, and
to upload files to or download files from the server.
8.6 Accessing Files on Another Device Using SFTP
SFTP is a secure FTP service. After the router is configured as an SFTP client, the SFTP server
authenticates the client and encrypts data in both directions to provide secure data transmission.
8.7 Configuration Examples
This section describes examples for access another device. The examples explain networking
requirements, configuration notes, and configuration roadmap.
