Usage Guidelines
NOTE
The BlackDiamond 8800 series switch and the Summit X450 family of switches do not support user-created virtual
routers.
Only VT100 emulation is supported.
Before you can start an outgoing Telnet session, you need to configure the switch IP parameters. To
open a Telnet connection, you must specify the host IP address or the host name of the device you want
to connect to. Check the user manual supplied with the Telnet facility if you are unsure of how to do
this. Although the switch accepts IPv6 connections, you can only Telnet from the switch to another
device with an IPv4 address.
You must configure DNS in order to use the
host_name
option.
Host Name and Remote IP Address Character Restrictions.
This section provides information about the
characters supported by the switch for host names and remote IP addresses.
