Setting a Telnet password

A Telnet password is a global, systemwide password required for Telnet logins to the
unit. The Telnet password is required before the system accepts the connection and
prompts for the username. Following are the default parameters associated with
Telnet logins to a Stinger unit:
[in IP-GLOBAL]
telnet-password = ""
user-profile = ""
Parameter
Telnet-Password
User-Profile
For example, the following commands set the Telnet password to dpg01!:
admin> read ip-global
IP-GLOBAL read
admin> set telnet-password = dpg01!
admin> write
IP-GLOBAL written
When a Telnet password has been specified, the system requires a two-tier password
authentication for Telnet logins, first the Telnet password, then the username and its
associated password. For example:
% telnet 1.1.1.1
<stinger01> Enter Password: dpg01!
Trying 1.1.1.1...

If the user enters an incorrect Telnet password, the system prompts again, allowing
up to three attempts before timing out. If the user specifies the correct password, the
connection is established and the user is prompted to enter the name and password
of a valid User profile.
