Configuring the initiator
The initiator is a router. The following sections describe tasks to configure the router.
Enabling IP terminal access

Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.

2. Enable IP terminal access.
ipta server enable Disabled by default.
Creating an IP terminal access service
IP terminal access services are provided by the receiver (FEP). After a service is created on the initiator,
the CLI turns from system view to IP terminal access (IPTA) service view. Then, you can configure attributes
for the service (such as authentication mode and encryption). When a terminal user requests this service,
the initiator creates a connection to the receiver based on the configured information.
To create an IP terminal access service:
Ste

Command
1. Enter system view.
system-view
2. Create an IP terminal access service.
ipta service service-name
Creating an IP terminal
Specify a terminal number when creating an IP terminal to uniquely identify the IP terminal on the initiator.
You can bind a terminal number to the terminal IP address through terminal address binding. After a
terminal is created, the CLI turns from system view to terminal view. Then, you can configure attributes
(such as an IP address or a MAC address) for the terminal.
To create an IP terminal:

Command
1. Enter system view.

2. Create an IP terminal.
ipta terminal ttyid
Specifying a terminal access type
You can specify the terminal access type for a service. Currently, ETelnet, TTY, and SSH terminal access
types are supported.
• The initiator software of ETelnet terminal access is developed by HP. The receiver software is the
etelnetd program running on the receiver device. The initiator and receiver use proprietary
protocols to exchange packets and support data encryption using an encryption algorithm.
However, the strength of the supported encryption algorithms is not high.
