Managing Telnet Access Features
The Cisco MGX switches include Telnet client and server software. The Telnet server software allows
you to establish CLI management sessions with a switch using a Telnet client. The Telnet client software
allows you to log into a switch and then establish a Telnet session with another switch.
Starting with Release 5, you can disable the Telnet feature to force users to use secure sessions to access
the switch. The following sections describe how to start Telnet sessions from workstations and switches
and how to enable or disable Telnet access.
Tip
For instructions on establishing secure CLI management sessions from a workstation, see
Appendix C, “Supporting and Using Additional CLI Access Options.”
For instructions on establishing secure CLI management sessions between switches, see “
Managing Secure (SSH) Access Sessions Between Switches
,” which appears later in this chapter.
