• Remote Telnet access is working. To enable it, you have to edit the /etc/

ttys file on the SP Switch Router and modify the appropriate entries, as

Adding

to a ttypX stanza opens it for Telnet, so in this example, only

two Telnet sessions at a time were allowed.

Use the following command to connect to the SP Switch Router:

xterm -sb -geometry 80x65 -e telnet <hostname of SP Switch Router>

This gives you a large window with a scroll bar at the left, so that you may

Hint: If you just use

-e telnet

and give the hostname at the

telnet>

prompt, the window will survive reboots of the GRF.
