Accessing a Cisco Security Appliance with Telnet
You can manage Security Appliance by using Telnet from hosts on any internal interface.
With Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) configured, you can use Telnet to administer the
console of a Cisco Security Appliance remotely from lower-security interfaces.
To access the Security Appliance using a Telnet connection, you have to first configure the
PIX Firewall for Telnet access:
Step 1 Enter the PIX Firewall telnet command:
telnet local-ip [mask] [if-name]
You can identify a single host or a subnet that can have Telnet access to
the Security Appliance. For example, to let a host on the internal
network with an address of 10.1.1.24 access the PIX Firewall, enter the
following:
telnet 10.1.1.24 255.255.255.255 inside
