Telnet & SSH Functions
10.4. IP Aliasing
In addition to the Direct Connect function described in Section 10.3, the TSM/RSM also
supports IP Aliasing, which provides another method for connecting directly to any
serial port on the unit without first accessing the command interface. IP Aliasing allows
you to assign an IP address to a TSM/RSM serial port, and then connect to that port
directly via Telnet, SSH or Raw Socket.
In order to configure TSM/RSM serial ports for IP Aliasing, you must first access the
Serial Port Configuration menu for the desired port(s) as described in Section 5.8.2. In
addition, you must also set the Direct Connect feature to either "On - Password" or "On -
No Password" as described in Section 5.8.2.
Once a TSM/RSM serial port has been configured as described above, users can
connect to the port in the same manner that would be used to establish a connection
with any other IP address. For example, if the serial port IP Alias was set to "1.2.3.4"
then users would be able to connect to the port via Telnet using the following connect
command:
$ telnet 1.2.3.4 [Enter]
