Telnet access

Telnet is a TCP/IP service that allows remote terminals to access
hosts on an IP network. The Netopia Router supports Telnet access
to its configuration screens.

Caution!

You should consider restricting Telnet access to the Netopia Router
if you suspect there is a chance of tampering.

To restrict Telnet access, select Security in the Main Menu and go
to the Security Options screen. There are two levels of Telnet
restriction available:

To restrict Telnet access to the SNMP screens, select Deny Telnet
Access to SNMP Screens and toggle it to Yes. (See

“SNMP traps”

on page 9-20.

)

To restrict Telnet access to all of the configuration screens, select
Block Telnet Console Access and toggle it to Yes.
