5) If the password authentication mode is specified, enter the password when the
Telnet window displays “Login authentication” and prompts for login password.
The CLI prompt (such as <Sysname>) appears if the password is correct. If all
VTY user interfaces of the switch are in use, you will fail to establish the
connection and receive the message that says “All user interfaces are used,
please try later!”. A H3C series Ethernet switch can accommodate up to five Telnet
connections at same time.

After successfully Telnetting to the switch, you can configure the switch or display
the information about the switch by executing corresponding commands. You can
also type ? at any time for help. Refer to the relevant parts in this manual for the
information about the commands.
Note:

A Telnet connection is terminated if you delete or modify the IP address of the VLAN

By default, commands of level 0 are available to Telnet users authenticated by
password. Refer to section 1.2 “Command Hierarchy/Command View” in CLI part
for information about command hierarchy.
3.5.2 Telnetting to another Switch from the Current Switch
You can Telnet to another switch from the current switch. In this case, the current switch
operates as the client, and the other operates as the server. If the interconnected
Ethernet ports of the two switches are in the same LAN segment, make sure the IP
addresses of the two management VLAN interfaces to which the two Ethernet ports
belong to are of the same network segment, or the route between the two VLAN
interfaces is available.
