3. Telnet:
a. On/Off: Choose On to enable Array management over a Telnet
connection, or Off to disable this feature. SSH offers a more secure
connection than Telnet, and is recommended over Telnet.
b. Connection Timeout 30-100000 (Seconds): Enter a value in this field
to define the timeout (in seconds) before your Telnet connection is
disconnected. The value you enter here must be between 30 seconds
and 100,000 seconds.
c. Port: Enter a value in this field to define the port used by Telnet.
The default port is 23.
4. Xircon
The Xircon utility connects to Xirrus Arrays that do not have a physical
console port (XR-500, XR-1000 and some XR-2000 models), or whose
console port is not accessible. Please see “Securing Low Level Access to
the Array” on page 73 for more information about Xircon. You can enable
or disable Xircon access to the Array as instructed below.
a. On/Off: Choose On to enable Xircon access to the Array at the
ArrayOS (CLI) and Xirrus Boot Loader (XBL) levels, or Off to disable
access at both levels. On models that have no console port, Xircon
access is On by default. On all other Array models, Xircon access is
Off by default.
b. ArrayOS only: Choose this radio button to enable Xircon access at the
ArrayOS level only (i.e., Xircon can access CLI only). Access to the
Array at the Xirrus Boot Loader (XBL) level is disabled.
c. Boot only: Choose this radio button to enable Xircon access at the
Xirrus Boot Loader (XBL) level only. ArrayOS level (CLI) access to the
Array is disabled.
!
Warning: If you disable Xircon access completely on models that have no
console port, you must ensure that you do not lose track of the username and
password to log in to CLI/WMI! There is no way to recover from a lost
password, other than returning the Array to Xirrus.
