Configuring Autoconnection By Port

This topic describes how to configure a port for autoconnection. It describes how to set up a port for autoconnection only. It assumes that you have or will configure the port appropriately for a modem or terminal connection.

Procedure 

To configure a port to provide automatic connections for all port users, supply a set ports command that specifies the following:

• The ports configured for autoconnection (on the range field)
• auto=on
• The IP address of the host to which the autoconnection should be made (on the dest field)
• The TCP port to use for this connection (on the dport field)

Example

In this example, port 5 is configured for automatic telnet connections to a host.
