Chapter 9 Accessing and Monitoring PIX Firewall
Using Telnet for Remote System Management
Note To complete the configuration of the VPN client, refer to the vpngroup command in the Cisco
PIX Firewall Command Reference.
Using Telnet
Perform the following steps to test Telnet access:
Step 1 From the host, start a Telnet session to a PIX Firewall interface IP address.
If you are using Windows 95 or Windows NT, click Start>Run to start a Telnet session. For example, if
the inside interface IP address is 192.168.1.1, enter the following command.
telnet 192.168.1.1
Step 2 The PIX Firewall prompts you with a password:
PIX passwd:
Enter cisco and press the Enter key. You are then logged into the PIX Firewall.
The default password is cisco, which you can change with the passwd command.
You can enter any command on the Telnet console that you can set from the serial console, but if you
reboot the PIX
Firewall, you must log back into the PIX Firewall after it restarts.
Some Telnet applications such as the Windows 95 or Windows NT Telnet sessions may not support
access to the PIX
Firewall’s command history feature used with the arrow keys. However, you can access
the last entered commands by pressing Ctrl-P.
Step 3 Once you have Telnet access available, you may want to view ping information while debugging.
You can view ping information from Telnet sessions with the debug icmp trace command. The Trace
Channel feature also affects debug displays, which is explained in “
Trace Channel Feature.”
Messages from a successful ping appear as follows:
Outbound ICMP echo request (len 32 id 1 seq 512) 209.165.201.2 > 209.165.201.1
Inbound ICMP echo reply (len 32 id 1 seq 256) 209.165.201.1 > 209.165.201.23
Step 4 In addition, you can use the Telnet console session to view syslog messages:
a. Display start messages with the logging monitor 7 command. The “7” will cause all syslog message
levels to display.
If you are using the PIX Firewall in production mode, you may wish to use the logging buffered 7
command to store messages in a buffer that you can view with the show
logging command, and clear
the buffer for easier viewing with the clear logging command. To stop buffering messages, use the
no logging buffered command.
You can also lower the number from 7 to a lesser value, such as 3, to limit the number of messages
that appear.
b. If you entered the logging monitor command, then enter the terminal monitor command to cause
the messages to display in your Telnet session. To disable message displays, use the terminal no
monitor command.
