About the Telnet Client
Before you can start an outgoing Telnet session on the switch, you must set up the IP parameters
described in
“Configuring Switch IP Parameters” on page 64 . Telnet is enabled and uses VR-Mgmt by
default.
NOTE
Maximize the Telnet screen so that automatically updating screens display correctly.
If you use Telnet to establish a connection to the switch, you must specify the IP address or host name
of the device that you want to connect to. Check the user manual supplied with the Telnet facility if you
are unsure of how to do this.
After the connection is established, you see the switch prompt and you can log in.
The same is true if you use the switch to connect to another host. From the CLI, you must specify the IP
address or host name of the device that you want to connect to. If the host is accessible and you are
allowed access, you may log in.
For more information about using the Telnet client on the switch, see “Connecting to Another Host
Using Telnet” on page 64 .
About the Telnet Server
Any workstation with a Telnet facility should be able to communicate with the switch over a TCP/IP
network using VT100 terminal emulation.
Up to eight active Telnet sessions can access the switch concurrently. If you enable the
idletimeouts
parameter, the Telnet connection times out after 20 minutes of inactivity. If a connection to a Telnet
session is lost inadvertently, the switch terminates the session within two hours.
Beginning with ExtremeWare XOS 11.2, the switch accepts IPv6 connections.
For information about the Telnet server on the switch, see the following sections:
