Telnet Remote Console Connection Problems
Introduction
If you experience problems establishing a remote console connection using Telnet, verify
the following:
• Internet address
• Telnet listener configuration
• Access server memory usage
• Remote console port status
Verify Internet Address
If you are unable to establish a Telnet remote console connection, verify that the Internet
address has been set on the access server. See the section Verif y Internet Address (page 3-
2).
Verify Telnet Listener Configuration
The Telnet Listener Ports characteristic identifies which Telnet listener accepts Telnet
remote console connections. The factory-set default is listener 23. Enter the following
command. Substitute the number of the Telnet listener for 23:
Local> SHOW TELNET LISTENER 23
Listener TCP-port: 23 Listener Type: TELNET
Identification: Telnet Console
Ports: Console
Connections: Enabled
IP Address
0.0.0.0 (will default to server’s IP address)
Verify that Connections are Enabled. If Connections are Disabled, enter the following
command. Substitute the number of the Telnet listener port for 23:
Local> CHANGE TELNET LISTENER 23 CONNECTIONS ENABLED
Verify Access Server Memory Usage
If you are unable to establish a Telnet remote console connection, verify the access server
memory usage. See the section Verify Access Server Memory Usage (page 2-6).
