CONNECT PORT
(privileged)
Syntax
CONNECT PORT { port-number }
Description
This privileged command connects a dedicated port on your access server (a port
other than your own) to a host system. For example, you can use this command to
connect a printer to a host system. Once connected, the host could then send print
jobs to the printer. You can use this command for LAT, Telnet, PPP, and SLIP
connections.
Restriction
You cannot use this command for a port with a password-protected, dedicated
service. The target port must be set to LOCAL or DYNAMIC access and must
have a dedicated service defined for the port. In addition, the port cannot have a
session in progress.
Example: CONNECT PORT
Local> CONNECT PORT 3
This command connects port 3 to its dedicated service.
CONNECT PPP
(secure)
Syntax
CONNECT [PPP]
This secure command specifies that a PPP session will be started on the port. If
PPP is not the default protocol, you must specify PPP in the command line.
Restrictions
• The port must have PPP enabled.
• Only one PPP or SLIP session per port is allowed at any given time.
• During a PPP session, all switch characters are passed on as data.
