Accessing a local Pipeline via Telnet
If a remote user Telnets to the Pipeline and the Ethernet > Mod Config > Telnet
PW has been set, the user is prompted for the Telnet password. Local users
Telneting to the Pipeline over the Ethernet must also supply this password.
The Telnet password verification trap reports the IP address of the Telnet client
whose login attempts failed. The address is included in the security violation
message issued whenever the maximum number of Telnet login attempts to a
Pipeline has been exceeded.
To Telnet into a Pipeline, a user must supply the appropriate password, which is
then verified. If the user cannot supply the correct password, an SNMP trap
message is sent to all SNMP clients enabled for SNMP security messages.
The message includes the following information:
• The session number for the attempted Telnet session.
• The IP address of the host (the Pipeline).
• The associated IP address of the Telnet client that attempted the connection.
The format of the message is as follows:
Where:
