VPN 3000 Concentrator Series User Guide

Configuration | System | Management Protocols | Telnet

This screen lets you configure and enable the VPN Concentrator’s Telnet terminal emulation server, and

Telnet over SSL (Secure Sockets Layer protocol). When the server is enabled, you can use a Telnet client

to communicate with the VPN Concentrator. You can fully manage and administer the VPN Concentrator

using the Cisco Command Line Interface via Telnet.

Telnet server login usernames and passwords are the same as those enabled and configured on the

Administration | Access Rights | Administrators screens.

Telnet/SSL uses a secure, encrypted connection. Although we are not aware of commercial Telnet/SSL

clients, there are some working shareware applications. For example, see

ftp://ftp.gbnet.net/

pub/security/Crypto/SSLapps

for ssltel02.zip, an “SSL Telnet for Windows” shareware

application. (Please note that we mention this application for information only and that Cisco Systems

does not supply, support, or endorse it in any way.)

See the

Configuration | System | Management Protocols | SSL screen to configure SSL parameters. See the

Administration | Certificate Management | Certificates screen to manage the SSL digital certificate.

Enable Telnet

Check the box to enable the Telnet server. The box is checked by default. Disabling the Telnet server

provides additional security, but doing so prevents using the Cisco Command Line Interface via Telnet.

Enable Telnet/SSL

Check the box to enable Telnet over SSL. The box is checked by default. Telnet/SSL uses Telnet over a

secure, encrypted connection.

Telnet Port

Enter the port number that the Telnet server uses. The default is 23, which is the well-known port

number. Changing the port number provides additional security.
