Contivity VPN telnet question.

Jun 30, 2005 1 Replies

Hi there,



I am setting up a Branch Office VPN using 2 Contivity back to back in a LAB.



PC1 --- CONTIVITY1 ---IPSEC Tunnel ----CONTIVITY2 ----PC2


From PC1, I can ping and HTTP to CONTIVITY2 but I can't telnet to it.

Telnet is enabled and all filters are permit all. PC2 can telnet to CONTIVITY2. What else do I need to check? What is a Control Tunnel and when do you use it?


Thank you.

Go to Profiles -> Filters and edit "permit all" tunnel filter; you'll see checkboxes for telnet, ftp, etc. Or, you can check enabled services (Services -> Available). Control tunnel is for administration purposes, you can access the Contivity box only through the tunnel, not the networks behind it.
