Adding devices automatically results in their data being buffered to a device-specific logfile.
Using MindTerm to Create an SSH Tunnel
This section describes how an administrative user can create an SSH tunnel from a user’s
workstation to a managed device using the MindTerm applet that activates when any user connects
to the console using the Web Manager. A regular user cannot use this procedure because regular
users who connect to the console are restricted to selecting options from a limited
-access menu, and
the Tunnels option is not available for them on the MindTerm menu.
To use MindTerm to create an SSH tunnel:
1. Log into the Web Manager as an administrative user, and select the Access
- Appliance menu
option. A window running a MindTerm applet appears, with an encrypted SSH connection
between the user’s computer and the console.
2. Log in and follow any prompts that may appear about saving the host key.
3. Press
Ctrl and the right mouse button at the same time (Ctrl+[mouse right-click]) then drag the
cursor to pull down and select the Tunnels
- Basic menu option.
The MindTerm Basic Tunnels Setup dialog box appears.
4. Enter a TCP port number to forward in the Local port field. You can select a random number
over 1000.
5. Enter the device’s port number to bring up the desired web application in the Remote
port field.
6. Enter the IP address of the device in the Remote Host field.
7. Click Add.
The tunnel is created and the dialog box appears similar to the following screen example.
