enable telnet
ExtremeWare Software 7.3.0 Command Reference Guide 185
enable telnet
enable telnet {access-profile [<access_profile> | none]} {port
<tcp_port_number>}
Description
Enables Telnet access to the switch.
Syntax Description
Default
Telnet is enabled with no access profile and uses TCP port number 23.
Usage Guidelines
You must be logged in as an administrator to enable Telnet.
If you are using IP without a BOOTP server, you must enter IP parameters for the switch for the Telnet
software to communicate with the device. To assign IP parameters to the switch, you must:
• Log in to the switch with administrator privileges.
• Assign an IP address and subnet mask to a VLAN.
The switch comes configured with a default VLAN named default . To use Telnet or an SNMP
network manager, you must have at least one VLAN on the switch, and it must be assigned an IP
address and subnet mask. IP addresses are always assigned to a VLAN. The switch can be assigned
multiple IP addresses.
For version 6.0 and higher:
• Use an access profile to restrict Telnet access. An access profile permits or denies a named list of IP
addresses and subnet masks. You must create and configure an access profile before you can use this
option. You create an access profile using the
create access-profile
command. You configure an
access profile using the
configure access-profile
command.
• Use the
none
option to cancel a previously configured access-profile.
• Use the
port
option to specify a TCP port number.
Example

enable telnet access-profile managers
access profile Specifies an access profile. (6.0, 6.1)
none Cancels a previously configured access profile. (6.0, 6.1)
