An example of multiple telnet sessions
The following example shows a user called
Linda
logging in on a terminal, logging
into two hosts, switching between the two sessions, then logging out.
Note:
The default
telnet
escape character is
Ctrl-]
(Control-Right Bracket), but
this can be changed using the
set keys
command. See
set keys
in
the
Command Reference Guide
for more details.
1. The user logs in as
Linda
:
a. PortServer II is already up and running. Linda switches on her terminal,
presses
Carriage Return
(if the login prompt is not already showing),
and sees the PortServer II prompt, for example:
Digi Int.>
b.
She types in her user name
Linda
and presses
Carriage Return
.
Note:
User names are case sensitive.
She sees the password prompt, for example:
passwd:
c. Linda enters her password.
Note:
Passwords are case-sensitive. If a user enters an incorrect password or a
password that includes incorrect case letters, PortServer II responds by
displaying “
login invalid
...”. The user has to re-enter both user
name and password.
2. Linda starts a session on
Corporate
.
At the PortServer II prompt, Linda starts a session with the host called
Corporate
by typing:
#>telnet corporate
Note:
She does not have to give an Ethernet address for
Corporate
if her
network has domain name service. If it does not, she could still enter
telnet corporate
if
Corporate
and its IP address have been
entered in PortServer II’s host table, as described in
Chapter 4, Basic
Configuration, Configuring the Ethernet connection.
If neither of these
conditions apply, the syntax for the telnet command is:
telnet hostip [tcp port#]
3. Linda logs into
Corporate
using her login and password set up on that host.
