For example, if you want to create the password as procurve, enter
ProCurve(config-telnet0)# password md5 procurve
You can also configure an access control list (ACL) to block or limit Telnet
access. For instructions on configuring this ACL, see the Advanced Management
and Configuration Guide, Chapter 5: Applying Access Control to Router
Interfaces.
Configuring Multiple Telnet Lines at Once. You can also create a
password for all Telnet lines at once. Enter:
ProCurve(config) line telnet 0 4
Entering indicates that you are configuring all four lines. The router context
0 4
displays the lines you are configuring, as shown below:
ProCurve(config-telnet0–4)
You can then enter the password command.
If you do not enter a space between
prompt will be displayed as:
ProCurve(config-telnet04)
Configuring Multiple Passwords for Telnet Lines. If you have a large IT
staff, you may want to configure multiple Telnet lines. You may also want to
configure a different password for one Telnet line and reserve that line for
your access only.
You should always place the more restrictive password on the configured
Telnet line with the highest number due to the way that the ProCurve Secure
Router handles Telnet sessions. The router always assigns a remote user to
the first available Telnet line, starting with line 0. That is, the first user to
initiate a Telnet session connects over Telnet line 0, the second over Telnet
line 1, and so forth.
If a user cannot enter the correct password, the router terminates the Telnet
session. It does not allow the user to access the next Telnet line. If you place
a password that only you know on Telnet line 0, no other user will be able to
access the other Telnet lines for which they do know the password—except
in the unlikely event that you have already established a Telnet session with
the router.
