Configuring Autoconnection By Port: Command Line
This section describes how to configure a port for autoconnection from the command line.
Procedure
This procedure describes how to set up a port for autoconnection only. It assumes that you have or will configure
the port appropriately for a modem connection (see Chapter 5) or terminal connection (see Chapter 6).
To configure a port to provide automatic connections for all port users, supply a set ports command that specifies
the following:
set ports range=range auto=on dest=ip-address dport=tcp=port
where
• range is a port or range of ports
• ip-address is the IP address of the host to which the autoconnection should be made
• tcp-port is a TCP port to use for this connection
Example
In this example, port 2 is configured for automatic Telnet connections to a host.
set ports range=2 auto=on dest=199.125.123.10 dev=min dport=23
