The Telnet server allows standard telnet-protocol clients (available for most client platforms) to connect to the FB2900 and access a command-line interface (CLI). The CLI is documented in Chapter 22 and in the Appendix J.
Access control can be restricted in the same way as the HTTP (web) service, including per user access restrictions.
The example XML below shows the telnet service configured with restricted access :-
<telnet allow="10.0.0.0/24 10.1.0.3-98 10.100.100.88 10.99.99.0/24"
comment="telnet service access restricted by IP address"
local-only="false"/>By default, the FB2900 will only allow telnet access from machines that are on one of the locally-attached Ethernet subnets[a].
To allow access from other interfaces, set local-only="false".
This default is used since the CLI offers a degree of system control that is not available via the web interface - for example, software images stored in the on-board Flash memory can
be deleted via the CLI.
