Telnet test from tmsh

Hi, I hope someone can help, I'm getting an SSH error when doing a gtm_add from a blank GTM, wanted to verify that FW rules allowed ssh, is there a way I can telnet on port 22 to another GTM using the tmsh?

  • Is run /util bash an option, you could then run telnet from there. If not I suspect this isn't possible.
  • That didn't work, I can't believe that you can't telnet from within TMSH, this is version 11.1, iif anyone knows please let me know, hank you.
  • OK, I guess you only have the option of using the run util test-monitor... command, it should suffice.
  • Not telnet, but have you considered using traceroute w/TCP? The syntax would be:

    run util traceroute -T -p 22 

    It times out just like regular traceroute if the destination cannot be reached. Seems to work fine on v11.1 and v11.2.

  • That worked, thank you so much. FW port seem to be opened...

     

    Have you btw seen where you run the gtm_add and get stuck at the "enter root password if prompted" ?
