About rlogin command

This chapter concerns about command rlogin. Rlogin is used to establish the session with the remote server. Rlogin is usually used to log in the remote Unix system. Knowing the type of the recipient’s operation system in advance, the option protocol is unnecessary. Its registration is mainly based on the user’s mainframe IP address and its user name for logging in to the remote server. Therefore, the biggest difference between rlogin and TELNET is that depending on the proper setup on the terminal server, rlogin helps the user avoid entering the code each time he logs in.

 

rlogin

The command format to establish rlogin dialogue is as follows:

rlogin  server-ip-addr  [-l  Username]

parameter:

server-ip-addr   Remote server's ip address in dotted in decimal format

Username       username in remote server. Max length is 30 characters.

default:

none

command mode:

 global configuration mode

explanation:

User can choose one of the following two command formats to accomplish remote login.

1.      rlogin  server-ip-addr

In this situation, the application will first request username of the remote user and then try to establish remote connection.

2.      rlogin  server-ip-addr -l  Username

In this case, the application tries to establish the connection to the remote terminal directly.

During the session with the remote server, the user can use the following special commands.

l        Ctrl-S:stop the output from remote host to Client host

l        Ctrl-Q:resume the output from the remote host to client host

Note:Ctrl-S and  Ctrl-Q need corresponding coordination from the server)

l               Use serials of ~ and “. at line head to quit the session.

l               Use ctrl+shift+6 to quit the session.

 

example

Suppose the user wants to use rlogin to remote logon to the server with IP address of 192.168.20.124, and the user name of the user on the server is guest, the user can use either of these two command formats to complete the remote logon.

1)rlogin 192.168.20.124

In this situation, rlogin will enquire the user name to logon to the remote server. After obtaining the user name, it begins trying to set up the connection with the remote server. The command sequence is as follows:

router# rlogin 192.168.20.124

username: guest

Try to connect server .

The user input is highlighted with shadow font.

2)rlogin 192.168.20.124 –l guest

In this situation, rlogin will try to set up the connection with the remote server directly.
