Management Port Configuration Guidelines
All management sessions to the RPM-XF, including those initiated with the cc command at the PXM
card, utilize the asynchronous (vty) ports. In Release 5.3.00 the RPM-XF supports up to 250 vty ports
(CSCsd05487).
card, utilize the asynchronous (vty) ports. In Release 5.3.00 the RPM-XF supports up to 250 vty ports
(CSCsd05487).
Note
Earlier releases supported up to 1000 vty ports.
You allocate vty ports among the management protocols you plan to use:
•
ssh
•
rlogin
•
telnet
•
rpm ipc
•
all
•
none
). Always
configure a few vty lines for rpm ipc, so you can manage the RPM-XF from the PXM card. Then,
configure other vty lines for the protocols you plan to permit on backcard interfaces.
configure other vty lines for the protocols you plan to permit on backcard interfaces.
Note
You must enable at least one line for rpm ipc to manage the RPM-XF from the PXM.
The following example configures three ports for rpm ipc and two for ssh:
line vty
0 2
password
cisco
login
transport input rpm ipc
transport output rpm ipc
line vty
3 4
password
cisco
login local
transport input ssh
transport output ssh
In this example, the login local command specifies that ssh should use a local database of users. In a
production environment, you would usually use an authentication server instead.
