Telnet to ASA from Nei Switch

[mahesh18]

Hi Everyone.

I have ASA  connected to Switch.

This is outside connection.

I was trying to Telnet to ASA  from Switch which has outside connection to ASA.

I config the command

telnet 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 outside

Still from Switch i am unable to telnet to ASA ?

ASA  has default route to switch with route outside command

Need to know  things below

1>Is this possible to Telnet to both outside and inside interface of ASA  from the nei switch which is on outside interface of ASA  ??

Hello,

Telnet is not allowed to the lowest security level interface of the ASA.

SSH will do it ( security purposes)

Also you cannot access a distant-interface, this means from an inside user you will be able to access inside interface but traffic to outside interface ip address will be denied no matter what ( Security desing meassure)

Hi Julio,

So this means that outside interface is never allowed telnet by design right?

Also is this possible to telnet to inside interface from outside  ?

Thanks

Correct,

As I mention on my previous post

Also you cannot access a distant-interface, this means from an inside user you will be able to access inside interface but traffic to outside interface ip address will be denied no matter what ( Security desing meassure)
