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.

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

    3.

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

    4.

  4. Click Add and enter a port for monitoring.

    For example, specify 23 for Telnet traffic.

    5.

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

    6.

  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.
