Can somebody please tell me what is a taxi server?
I came to know the term taxi server in context of remote access.
I tried to google it out could not get any definition/description of what this taxi server really is?
If anyone knows any website/link to learn more about taxi servers,please do post the same,
I had visited the event-helix site previuosly when it googled taxi server,,but i am not sure if that would be the desired solution,,let me give u a few more details and context;
1) We use Putty/WinSSH to login to remote Z-Linux Severs ,
2) Initially the server ip address given to us by sysadmin started with 10,eg -
10.123.154.198,,,this ip was not accessible from the next week onwards,,
3) When Incident was raised , the Admin provided an alternate ip address starting with 148,,,eg 148.124.174.65 and mentioned that it was a taxi server(taxi 07/08) used for remote access.
I mailed him immediately, requesting a clarification on what this taxi server does ,,but no reply and since then i am searching for the proper answer,,,
Now i mentioned all these points hoping that perhaps you or any of our forum members might recognize what this taxi server is all about,,,
No i am now connecting to the ip address starting with 148,using putty from my desktop(running on windos xp),,as per admin's mail,,,,the ip address starting with 148 is a taxi server which has remote access enabled,,,,,
does this ring any bell,,,,,,
