Telneting into an iSDX

[RichardUk]

I have access to many iSDXs, all of which are via dialup telephone line.
I have seen people on this forum using telnet, and wondered how I can configure my iSDX to support this?
The iSDXs have IP cards in them and have an ip address.
Thanks
Richard

Richard,

Any iSDX/Realitis greater than 6.0 has an ethernet port.
If you are a network its not just a matter of conecting them because they need IP Addresses, and Route info (Gateway IP address) setting.

This is set in a startup statement known as the envionment.

To list this you must be connected to the maintainance port and logged in at level 1, 2 or 5.

Type asmi, return:-
DX SYSTEM MAINTENANCE INTERFACE
31/08/06 13:29 Firmware Version:0.206 Application Version:2.0.23 Release ACTIVE
SMI A> se

type se and you will see all the envmt settings.

the statements:-

IPACT=10.18.144.4,ffffff00
ROUTE0=0.0.0.0,10.18.144.31,n,00000000

been the IP address of the switch with subnet mask,
and the route been the gateway works as in:-

Route0 (route 0)=
0.0.0.0, any IP address, goes to,
10.18.144.31 = gateway,
n, no network,
00000000 = any subnetmask.

Thanks very much for this.

I'll give it a try and let you know how I get on.

Richard,

Whoops....forgot to say that after changing the environment the switch has to be reloaded to activate, and if 2 proccessors both sides individually.

A duel is less painful because the off line proccessor can be reloaded, then switched to make the other off line, also one extra statment with a duel because the on line proccessor always keeps the:-
IPACT=10.18.144.4,ffffff00
The off line:-
IPSB=10.18.144.5,ffffff00

This statement goes in both sides.

Found an env statement in my backups, the *.app has been changed to protect the innocent.

Don't forget, if you mess up the config of the environment it can stop the system loading up!
