telnet Opens a Telnet client session with a remote device.
Syntax — telnet {ip-addr | hostname} [port port-num]
■ ip-addr — IP address of the remote device.
■ hostname — Hostname of the remote device.
■ port port-num — TCP port number on which the TCP server on the
remote device listens for Telnet connections.
Default — MSS attempts to establish Telnet connections with TCP port
23 by default.
Access — Enabled.
History — Introduced in MSS Version 3.0.
Usage — To end a Telnet session from the remote device, press Ctrl+t or
type quit or logout in the management session on the remote device. To
end a client session from the local WX switch, use the clear sessions
telnet client command.
If the configuration of the WX switch from which you enter the telnet
command has an ACL that denies Telnet client traffic, the ACL also denies
access by the telnet command.
Examples — In the following example, an administrator establishes a
Telnet session with another device and enters a command on the remote
device:
WX4400# telnet 10.10.10.90
Session 0 pty tty2.d Trying 10.10.10.90...
Connected to 10.10.10.90
Disconnect character is '^t'
