Is it possible to dial in/VPN into an S87xx server, then telnet to the IPSI even though it may be on another subnet?...say like a private subnet. i.e. - you can use 127.11.11.1 to telnet to a G700 from an 8300, I wondered if there was a "special" IP for the IPSI? Have heard it could be done...

Thanks,

Only possible when your control network is the same as the customer lan. Otherwise you would need some kind of layer 3 switch to route the packets...
 
Thanks vtec. That just wouldn't be prudent...most customers like that control to be inaccessible from the LAN. Hmmm...
 
I can get to the private side via shell. Emulation is wierd, so you can't see what you are typing, but, it worked for me.
 
From the shell, how would you access the private side? If you will....

Hi

If DHCP is used for assigning IP addresses to IPSI in a dedicated network, then after you dial in the S87xx:

1. "telnet 192.11.13.6"
2. "more /etc/hosts" to see the IP address of IPSI (i.e "198.152.254.1 ipsi-A01a")
3. "telnet 198.152.254.200" this is the ip address of the server on the dedicated network.
4. "telnettenable -c 1a" to enable telnet on IPSI 1a.
5. "telnet 198.152.254.1" to telnet the IPSI.

That's it
 
Sorry
on number 4. the command is "telnetenable" NOT "telnettenable".

In CM 3, i think that "telnetenable" has changed to "ipsisession".
Have that in mind and play around with the help pages

Thanks jimtr...I'll give that a try. Appreciate your response.

Logging into an IPSI to check it’s ethernet settings from the server:

• Do a pingall –i on the system to get the ethernet addresses of all of the IPSIs to determine which IPSI you want to check
• telnetenable –p <ip_addr>
• telnet <ip_addr>
• type ipsilogin to get a login prompt
• login as craft, serv1ces
• show port 1 will provide the information that you’re looking for
