Setting Up Telnet Transparent Proxy

Telnet Transparent proxy enables you to use a Telnet proxy server without having to manually connect to a proxy server.

When you use Telnet Transparent proxy, the clients must either use the proxy's private IP address as the TCP/IP gateway address or the proxy server must be in the routing path. IP forwarding must be enabled on the server.

To set up Telnet Transparent proxy:

  1. In NetWare Administrator, select the Novell BorderManager 3.7 Setup page for the server.

  2. From the Transparent Proxy tab, check the Transparent Telnet Proxy check box.

  3. Click Details or double-click the Transparent Telnet service.

  4. Click Add and enter a port for monitoring.

    For example, specify 23 for Telnet traffic.

  5. In the Exception IP Address List, click Add and enter a local IP address.

  6. Click OK > click OK page.

    NOTE:  When Telnet Transparent proxy is enabled, it is also automatically enabled for the Novell IP Gateway, if applicable.
