SLC™ 8000 Advanced Console Manager User Guide 104
To set up Telnet, SSH, and TCP port numbering:
1. Enter the following:
Telnet/SSH/TCP in Port Numbers
Caution: Ports 1-1024 are RFC-assigned and may conflict with services running
on the SLC 8000 advanced console manager. Avoid this range.
2. Click the Apply button to save the settings.
To set limits on direct connections:
1. Enter the maximum number (1-10) of simultaneous direct connections for each device port.
The default is 1.
2. Click the Apply button to save the settings.
To configure a specific port:
1. You have two options:
- Select the port from the ports list and click the Configure button. The Device Ports >
Settings page for the port displays.
- Click the port number on the green bar at the top of each page.
2. Continue with directions in the section, Device Ports - Settings (on page 105).
Global Commands
The following CLI commands correspond to the web page entries described above.
To configure settings for all or a group of device ports:
set deviceport global <one or more parameters>
Starting Telnet Port Each port is assigned a number for connecting via Telnet. Enter a number (1025-
65528) that represents the first port. The default is 2000 plus the port number. For
example, if you enter 2001, subsequent ports are automatically assigned numbers
2002, 2003, and so on.
Starting SSH Port Each port is assigned a number for connecting via SSH. Enter a number (1025-
65528) that represents the first port. The default is 3000 plus the port number. For
example, if you enter 3001, subsequent ports are automatically assigned numbers
3002, 3003, and so on.
Starting TCP Port Each port is assigned a number for connecting through a raw TCP connection. Enter
a number (1025-65528) that represents the first port. The default is 4000 plus the
port number. For example, if you enter 4001, subsequent ports are automatically
numbered 4002, 4003, and so on.
You can use a raw TCP connection in situations where a TCP/IP connection is to
communicate with a serial device. For example, you can connect a serial printer to a
device port and use a raw TCP connection to spool print jobs to the printer over the
network.
Note: When using raw TCP connections to transmit binary data, or where the break
command (escape sequence) is not required, set the Break Sequence of the
respective device port to null (clear it).
