Telnet Access to Server Behind Pix Firewall.....

[franksoprano]

How do I enable Telnet access to my server behind the Pix firewall?

 

[ChrisAC]

Create a rule on the PIX allowing port 23 to the server behind the PIX.

To add to Chris' answer, try this:

access-list acl_out permit tcp any host XX.XX.XX.XX eq 23

(This will allow any host to access your outside interface with tcp 23.. You may want to limit that by replacing 'any host' with an IP and Netmask of your choosing.)

static (inside,outside) tcp interface 23 YY.YY.YY.YY 23 netmask 255.255.255.255 0 0

access-group acl_out in interface outside

WHERE XX.XX.XX.XX = outside IP
YY.YY.YY.YY = inside IP of the box you want to telnet to.

If you don't NEED to telnet to your box, I would not recommend opening this port.

Good Luck! --
