IPv6 management features
7
Syntax: snmp-server host ipv6 <ipv6-address>
The <ipv6-address> you specify must be in hexadecimal format using 16-bit values between colons
as documented in RFC 2373.
Secure Shell, SCP, and IPv6
Secure Shell (SSH) is a mechanism that allows secure remote access to management functions on
the Dell PowerConnect device. SSH provides a function similar to Telnet. You can log in to and
configure the Dell PowerConnect device using a publicly or commercially available SSH client
program, just as you can with Telnet. However, unlike Telnet, which provides no security, SSH
provides a secure, encrypted connection to the Dell PowerConnect device.
To open an SSH session between an IPv6 host running an SSH client program and the Dell
PowerConnect device, open the SSH client program and specify the IPv6 address of the device. For
more information about configuring SSH on the Dell PowerConnect device, refer to
“Configuring
SSH2 and SCP” on page 1203.
IPv6 Telnet
Telnet sessions can be established between a Dell PowerConnect device to a remote IPv6 host, and
from a remote IPv6 host to the Dell PowerConnect device using IPv6 addresses.
The telnet command establishes a Telnet connection from a Dell PowerConnect device to a remote
IPv6 host using the console. Up to five
read-access Telnet sessions are supported on the router at
one time. Write-access through Telnet is limited to one session, and only one outgoing Telnet
session is supported on the router at one time. To see the number of open Telnet sessions at any
time, enter the show telnet command.
Example
To establish a Telnet connection to a remote host with the IPv6 address of 3001:2837:3de2:c37::6,
enter the following command.
PowerConnect#telnet 3001:2837:3de2:c37::6
Syntax: telnet <ipv6-address> [ <port-number> | outgoing-interface ethernet <port> | ve
<number> ]
The <ipv6-address> parameter specifies the address of a remote host. You must specify this
address in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
The <port-number> parameter specifies the port number on which the Dell PowerConnect device
establishes the Telnet connection. You can specify a value between 1 - 65535. If you do not specify
a port number, the Dell PowerConnect device establishes the Telnet connection on port 23.
If the IPv6 address you specify is a link-local address, you must specify the outgoing-interface
ethernet
<port> | ve <number> parameter. This parameter identifies the interface that must be
used to reach the remote host. If you specify an Ethernet interface, you must also specify the port
number associated with the interface. If you specify a VE interface, also specify the VE number.
Establishing a Telnet session from an IPv6 host
To establish a Telnet session from an IPv6 host to the Dell PowerConnect device, open your Telnet
application and specify the IPv6 address of the Layer 3 Switch.
