Telnet from Cisco ASA

Couldn't you get to the command line interface and then telnet from there?

Nope...

Huh.  I had one sitting on my test bench, as of about 10 minutes ago - the Cisco SE just stopped by and took it.  We're looking at it - doing a bake off against F5 Firepass and Nortel 3070.

He was showing us the new 8.0 beta code - looks very slick.

How do you like the ASA if you don't mind me asking ... ?   :)

This site has got some good replies about your query.

makana,

From what I can tell that link shows how to enable telnet access TO the ASA. I'm trying to telnet FROM the ASA.

pseudocyber,

I like it from what I can tell. Still new to me though.

I'll just resign to the fact that telnetting can't be done from it.

I think it can be done, but I think you would have to make a VPN connection to the box first, and then have permissions to do it.  

Another 500 pts if anyone can figure it out:)

Wouldn't think it should be that hard if Cisco allows it.
