How to enable Telnet on HiPath 4000 V5

[jgbmt]

Hi all,

After a Unix re-install, Telnet is not working. Can you please provide steps on how to enable Telnet on the HiPath 4K V5 Unix/Assistant?

Thank you!!

Telnet comes disabled from the factory on later release 4 software and above.

If the Telnet service is denied to the EIP the EIP will prompt you to run a Telnet Activation script in ComWin. To run this script, do the following:


- Connect to the System using ComWin
- From the Menu select Macro => Start => Open
- Select the CMD that was delivered with EIP (usually C:\eip_hp4k\<eip folder>\Activate_Telnet.cmd)
- Click on the "Traffic Light" to start the script

- change the name of the file on Unix /etc/inet/hosts.deny
for example: from hosts.deny to hhosts.deny
or edit the file itself.

List the files:
# ls
aasd.conf ftphosts if.ignore ntp.keys
aasd.conf.OLD ftpservers inet.dfl pipeline
aasd.conf.UAS ftpusers inet.priv protocols
aasd.pid gated.bgp inetd.conf rc.inet
aasd.socket gated.egp ipf rc.restart
bootptab.samp gated.ospf listen.setup resolv.save
config gated.rip macaddr rndc.conf.samp
dhcp.opts gateways menu services
dhcpc h2n.conf mrouted.conf shells
dhcpc.conf hosts named.conf.samp strcf
ftpaccess hosts.allow named.d tmp
ftpconversions hosts.deny networks
ftpgroups hosts.deny.bak ntp.conf


Change the filename

# mv hosts.deny hhosts.deny
# ls
aasd.conf ftphosts if.ignore ntp.keys
aasd.conf.OLD ftpservers inet.dfl pipeline
aasd.conf.UAS ftpusers inet.priv protocols
aasd.pid gated.bgp inetd.conf rc.inet
aasd.socket gated.egp ipf rc.restart
bootptab.samp gated.ospf listen.setup resolv.save
config gated.rip macaddr rndc.conf.samp
dhcp.opts gateways menu services
dhcpc h2n.conf mrouted.conf shells
dhcpc.conf hhosts.deny named.conf.samp strcf
ftpaccess hosts named.d tmp
ftpconversions hosts.allow networks
ftpgroups hosts.deny.bak ntp.conf
