An Example Of Multiple Telnet Sessions - Digi PortServer II User Manual

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
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.
