3495.0. "free port number for outgoing TELNET" by UTOPIE::BRAUN_R () Tue Apr 08 1997 06:04

    Hi all,
    
    outgoing TELNET from the DECserver (e.g. via dedicated service).
    In normal case, this will connect to the default port 23.
    Is there any way to provide a free-defined number, e.g. 7658 ?
    
    For some reason, the optional PORT (from the online help) does
    allow only 2001-2032, but these are the port numbers of incoming
    telnet of the DECserver (for e.g. telnet printing).
    Outgoing TELNET should be be able to connect to any IP-system.
    In normal case, the remote system is not a DECserver.
    
    Any plans to change this behaviour ?
    Did I miss anything ?
    
    Tested with NAS 2.0.
    
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    
    Thanks,
    Ralph

    telnet ip_address port_number works for me with DNAS 1.5.

We have noticed this, and the restriction will be lifted in DNAS V2.2.
We won't go as far as allowing full 16-bit port numbers (65535) but will
accept TCP port numbers in the range 1-9999.

Dave

  This problem was also corrected in ECO #4 of DNAS V2.0 (BL10D-40).
  The images are available from NPSS::PUBLIC$DSK:[INTERCHANGE.DECSERVERS.DNAS]
  as WWENG2_BL10D.SYS and MNENG2_BL10D.sys.

3495.5some funny combinations...UTOPIE::BRAUN_RWed Apr 09 1997 12:5312
    Hi,
    
    in the meantime I've tested with NAS 2.0 (DS900 TM)
    
    LOCAL>C x.x.x.x PORT y   (only in 2001-2032)
    LOCAL>C NODE PORT Y      (up to 9999)
    DEF PORT x DEDICATED NODE PORT y (only in 2001-2032).
    
    
    Regards,
    Ralph
