RE: how to enable telnet on the outside interface for PIX

I personally would not setup telnet on the outside interface. The
question was how to setup telnet on the outside interface. Since the
pix will not allow telnet on the outside interface unless there is an
ipsec tunnel to the outside interface the telnet traffic would be secure
via the ipsec tunnel.

Later.

Hello,

Why would you want to enable telnet on the outside interface of the pix?
Telnet traffic is passed clear text and not very secure. I would
recommend setting up secure shell for the outside interface.

Sincerely,

John

explicitly enable telnet on the outside interface.

telnet x.x.x.x outside

Second you must be running the outside interface in a secure mode with
IPSec to permit telnet traffic to the outside interface.

Here is the syntax description from the 6.3 command reference guide.

========================================================================

If IPSec is operating, PIX Firewall lets you specify an unsecure
interface name, typically, the outside interface. At a minimum, the
crypto map command must be configured to specify an interface name with
the telnet command.

HI,
Can any body send me the part of configuration needed to make someone on
the outside be able to do telnet on outside interface of pixfirewall.
I already enabled the telent on the inside and DMZ interfaces. but I do
not know how I can enable it for outside.
