Chapter 2 Terminal Service Configuration

Command

2.1 Telnet Configuration Command

The chapter describes telnet and related commands. The telnet

command is used to establish a session with the remote server. The
telnet command is always working at the UNIX operating systems.
Option negotiation is required. Telnet does not provide itself the login
authentication. Telnet is different from Rlogin because telnet does not
provide itself password check.
The following are telnet configuration commands:
 telnet
 ip telnet
 where
 disconnect
 resume
 switchkey
 switchmsg
 sequence-char
 clear Telnet
 show Telnet
 debug Telnet

2.1.1 telnet

The following is a command sentence for establishing a telnet session:

telnet server-ip-addr/server-host-name [/port port][/source-interface interface]
[/local local-ip-addr] [/debug][echo/noecho] [/script scriptname]

Parameter

Parameter Description

server-ip-addr Dotted-decimal IP address of the remote server

Name of the remote server, which is configured by the ip host

server-host-name
command

- 22 -
 Baisc Configuration Commands

port Telnet port of the remote server

interface Local interface where the telnet connection is originated

local-ip-addr Local IP address where the telnet connection is originated

A negotiation process for openning the debug at the client side

/debug
and printing the connection

echo/noecho Enable or disable the local echo. The default value is noecho.

scriptname A script name used for auto login

Default

The default port number is 23. The interface has no default number.

Command mode

Management mode

Instruction

You can use one of the following command lines to establish a remote
login.
telnet server-ip-addr/server-host-name

In this case, the application program directly sends the telnet login
request to port 23 of the remote server. The local IP address is the IP
address which is nearest to the peer and found by the routing table.
telnet server-ip-addr/server-host-name /port port

In this case, the application program sends a telnet login request to the
port of the peer.
telnet server-ip-addr/server-host-name /source-interface interface

In this case, the application program uses the IP address on the

interface ass the local IP address.
telnet server-ip-addr/server-host-name /debug

In this case, the application program opens the debug and exports the
connection at the client side.
telnet server-ip-addr/server-host-name echo/noecho

In this case, the application program enables or disables the local echo.
The local echo is disabled by default. The echo is completed at the
server side. Only when the server is not in charge of echo is the local
echo enabled.

- 23 -
 Baisc Configuration Commands

telnet server-ip-addr/server-host-name /script scriptname

Before executing the automatic login command of the script, run the
command ip telnet script to configure the script.
The previous commands can be used together.
During the session with the remote server, you can press the Q button
to exit the session. If the session is not manually closed, the session
will be complete after a 10-second timeout.

Example

Suppose you want to telnet server 192.168.20.124, the telnet port of

the server is port 23 and port 2323, and the local two interfaces are
e1/1(192.168.20.240) and s1/0(202.96.124.240). You can run the
following operations to complete the remote login.
1．telnet 192.168.20.124 /port 2323
In this case, the telnet connection with port 2323 of the peer is to be
established. The local IP address of the peer is 192.168.20.240.
2．telnet 192.168.20.124 /source-interface s1/0

In this case, the telnet connection with port 23 of the peer is to be

established. The local IP address of the peer is 202.96.124.240.
3．telnet 192.168.20.124 /local 192.168.20.240

In this case, the telnet connection with port 23 of the peer is to be

established. The local IP address of the peer is 192.168.20.240.
4．telnet 192.168.20.124 /debug

In this case, the telnet connection negotiation with port 23 of the peer

Default

None

Command mode

Global configuration

Instruction

 Run the following command to configure the local interface for

originating the telnet connection:
ip telnet source-interface interface
In this case, all telnet connections originated afterwards are
through the interface. The configuration command is similar to
the command telnet source-interface interface. However, the
telnet command has no interface parameters followed. When the
interface is configured and the telnet command has interface
parameters, the interface followed the telnet command is used.
 Run the following command to configure the name of the access
list which performs limitation on local telnet connection reception.
ip telnet access-class accesslist

- 25 -
 Baisc Configuration Commands

In this case, the access list will be checked when the server
accepts all telnet connections.
 Run the following command to configure a port, except the
default port 23, to receive the telnet service.
ip telnet listen-port start-port [end-port]

Explanation: If the end port number is not designated, the

listening will be executed at a specific port. The number of the
designated ports cannot be bigger than 16 and the port number
ranges between 3001 and 3999.
 Run the following command to configure the telnet login script.
ip telnet script s1 ‘login:’ switch ‘Password:’ test

Explanation: When the script is configured, the username

prompt and password prompt and their answers must be
correctly matched, especially the prompt information is capital
sensitive and has inverted comma (‘’). If one of them is
wrongly configured, the automatic login cannot be performed.
Note:
You can add the NO prefix on the above four commands and
then run them to cancel previous configuration.

Example

1．ip telnet source-interface s1/0

In this case, the s1/0 interface will be adopted to originate all telnet
connections afterwards.
2．ip telnet access-class abc
In this case, all the received telnet connections use access list abc to
perform the access list check.
3．ip telnet listen-port 3001 3010
Except port 23, all ports from port 3001 to port 3010 can receive the
telnet connection.
4．ip telnet script s1 ‘login:’ switch ‘Password:’ test
The login script s1 is configured. The username prompt is login: and
the answer is switch. The password prompt is Password: and the
answer is test.

Tool Commands

3.1 Network Testing Tool Commands

3.1.1 ping

It is used to test host accessibility and network connectivity. After the

ping command is run, an ICMP request message is sent to the
destination host, and then the destination host returns an ICMP
response message.
ping [-f] [-i {source-ip-address | source-interface}] [-j host1 [host2
host3 …]] [–k host1 [host2, host3 …]] [-l length] [-n number] [-r
hops] [-s tos] [-t ttl] [-v] [-w waittime] host

Parameter

Parameter Description

-f Sets the DF digit (message is not segmented).

If the message required to be sent is larger than the MTU of the

path, the message will be dropped by the routing switch on the

path and the routing switch will then return an ICMP error

message to the source host. If network performance has

problems, one node in the network may be configured to a small

MTU. You can use the –f option to decide the smallest MTU on

the path.

Default value: No resetting

-i Sets the source IP address of the message or the IP address of

an interface.

Default value: Main IP address of the message-sending

interface

source-ip-address Source IP address adopted by the message

- 47 -
 Baisc Configuration Commands

source-interface Message takes the IP address of the source-interface interface

as the source address.

-j host1 [host2 host3…] Sets the relaxation source route.

Default: Not set

-k host1 [host2 host3…] Sets the strict source route

Default: Not set

-l length Sets the length of ICMP data in the message.

Default: 56 bytes

-n number Sets the total number of messages.

Default: 5 messages

-r hops Records routes.

Up to hops routes are recorded.

Default: not record

-s tos Sets IP TOS of the message to tos.

Default: 0

-t ttl Sets IP TTL of the message to ttl.

Default: 255

-v Detailed output

Default: simple output

-w waittime Time for each message to wait for response

Default: 2 seconds

host Destination host

Command mode

Management mode, global configuration mode and interface

configuration mode

- 48 -
 Baisc Configuration Commands

Instruction

The command supports that the destination address is the broadcast

address or the multicast address. If the destination address is the
broadcast address (255.255.255.255) or the multicast address, the
ICMP request message is sent on all interfaces that support broadcast
or multicast. The routing switch is to export the addresses of all
response hosts. By pinging multicast address 224.0.0.1, you can
obtain the information about all hosts in directly-connected network
segment that support multicast transmission.
Press the Q key to stop the ping command.
Simple output is adopted by default.
Parameter Description

! A response message is received.

. Response message is not received in the timeout time.

U The message that the ICMP destination cannot be reached is

received.

Q The ICMP source control message is received.

R The ICMP redirection message is received.

T The ICMP timeout message is received.

P The ICMP parameter problem message is received.

The statistics information is exported:

Parameter Description

round-trip min/avg/max = 50/64/110 ms

3.1.2 traceroute

It is used to detect which routes have already reached the destination.

You can transmit to the destination the UDP packets (or ICMP ECHO
packets) of different TTLs to confirm which routes have come to the
destination. Each router on this path has to deduct 1 from the TTL
value before forwarding ICMP ECHO packets. Speaking from this
aspect, TTL is an effective hop count. When the TTL value of a packet
is deducted to zero, the router sends back to the source system the
ICMP timeout message.
By checking the ICMP timetout message sent back by intermedial
routers, you can confirm the routers. At the arrival of the destination,
the traceroute sends a UPD packet whose port ID is larger than 30000;
the destination node hence can only transmit back a Port Unreachable
ICMP message. This reception of this message means the arrival of
destination.

traceroute [-i source-ip-address ] [-m source-interface}] [-j host1 [host2 host3 …]]
[–k host1 [host2, host3 …]] [-p port-number] [-q probe-count] [-r hops] [-t ttl] [-w waittime]
[-x icmp] host

Parameter

Parameter Description

-i source-ip-address Sets the source IP address of packet.

-m source-interface Sets the packet-transmitted port.

-j host1 [host2 host3…] Sets the loose source route.Default: Not set

-k host1 [host2 host3…] Sets the strict source route.

Default: Not set

-p port-number Sets the ID of destination port that transmits UDP packets. Default value:

33434

- 50 -
 Baisc Configuration Commands

-q probe-count Sets the number of packets that you detect each time.

Default: 3 packets

-r hops Records the routes (at most hops routes can be recorded).

Default: The routes are not recorded.

-t ttl Sets the IP TTL of packets as TTL.

Default: the minimum and maximum TTLs are 1 and 30 respectively.

-w waittime Means the time that each packet waits for echo.

Default value: 3 seconds

-x icmp Sets the detection packet to be the ICMP ECHO packet.

Default: UDP packet

host Means the destination host.

Command mode

EXEC or global configuration mode

Explanation

The UDP packet is used for detection by default, but you can run –x
icmp to replace it with ICMP ECHO for detection.
If you want to stop traceroute, press q or Q.
By default, the simple output information is as follows.
Parameter Description

!N Receives an ICMP-route unreachable packet.

!H Receives an ICMP-host unreachable packet.

!P Receives an ICMP-protocol unreachable packet.

!F Receives an ICMP unreachable (need to be fragmented) packet.

!S Receive an ICMP unreachable (failing to detect the
