PERSISTENT SERIAL TUNNEL COMMAND
If two WAGs are configured for a PST, the tunnel will be established by one of the WAGs at power
up. In the diagram below WAGs 1 and 3 are configured for the PST.
At any time after the tunnel is established, the user can drop the tunnel and establish a “for the
duration tunnel” with another WAG as described below.
To drop the tunnel once it is established:
Once the PST is established, the user may drop the tunnel by typing
tun
and pressing Enter.
To establish a “for the duration tunnel”:
If there is no Tunnel established and there is no Persistent Serial Tunnel IP address configured into
the WAG, the user may manually request a “for the duration tunnel” to a remote WAG by typing
tun
followed by the IP address of the remote WAG.
For example, if the user types: tun 10.232.53.55
The WAG will show: Attempting Serial Tunnel to 10.232.53.55
This “for the duration tunnel” requires that both WAGs:
•
have the same Serial Telnet port numbers configured into them.
•
are listening on those port numbers by having them in their four “TCP ports are” configuration
options.
•
have their Serial Interface format configured for RAW.
