Using Telnet
It is necessary to assign the iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II an IP address before using a Telnet
session (this is not necessary when using UMA). Refer to the Assigning IP Information
section for more information. All of the configurations that can be performed from
the serial port can also be performed using a Telnet session; only one Telnet session
can be launched at a time.
The following are the three levels for Telnet account access:
User: View status, change own password, and reboot.
Operator: All User privileges mentioned above, plus ability to change settings.
Administrator: Operator privileges mentioned above, plus ability to add/delete
accounts and reinitialize the unit to default settings (cleandb).
Serial Configuration/Telnet Session
The following sections describe serial configuration (including VLAN configuration),
Telnet session configuration, and DHCP configuration.
NOTE
Some screens may show TX and FX for the port titles where TX = DATA port and FX = OPTICS
(or UPLINK) port. The examples are from firmware version 512-00A2.
Serial Port (EXT MGMT)
NOTE
The serial port (EXT MGMT) is always set to Administrator level. The password for Telnet
sessions is the password that is set and used in iConfig (refer to the iConfig section for more
information).
