Nortel Networks NN43001-315 - Manual (Page 144)

144 Network configuration for Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) data backup
numeric digits, and the special characters _ . - and $. You cannot use the
character - at the beginning of the logon string and you can use $ only at
the end of the logon string.
Nortel Linux base does not recognize the \ character. Do not use the \
character when you specify the SFTP directory.
SFTP network configuration requirements
The SFTP option requires an operational ELAN network because the
backup and recovery of data must use the ELAN interface. Nortel
recommends the destination SFTP server reside on the same ELAN
network as the source SFTP server. If the destination SFTP server resides
outside the subnet of the source SFTP server, use one of the two options
shown in
Table 12 "SFTP network configuration requirements" (page 144) .

SFTP network configuration requirements
Option Details
1 The router connecting the two subnets must be configured to allow pings to pass
through. This ensures there is a valid data path between the two subnets
If the default gateway is set to the TLAN interface gateway, a routing entry is required
to ensure that all ELAN data uses only the ELAN NIC. Use the CLI command
routeconfig to add the routing entry. An example of the routeconfig command
is as follows:
routeconfig add -net destination_ip -netmask subnet_mask -gw gateway_ip -dev eth0
2 On the source server set the ELAN interface gateway as the default gateway.
