Chapter 80: Telnet Client
1292
Overview
The switch has a Telnet client. You may use the client to remotely manage
other network devices from the switch. Here are the guidelines to using
the client:
The client has the two commands: TELNET, which is used to
manage network devices that have IPv4 addresses, and TELNET
IPV6, for devices that have IPv6 addresses.
You may use the Telnet client from local or Telnet management
sessions of the switch, but not from remote SSH management
sessions.
The switch must have an IP address that is of the same type, IPv4
or IPv6, as the addresses on the remote devices. For example, the
switch must have an IPv6 address for you to remotely manage
devices that have IPv6 addresses. For instructions, refer to
Chapter 13, “IPv4 and IPv6 Management Addresses” on page 257.
The other network devices that you intend to manage with the
Telnet client must be members of the same subnet as the IP
address of the switch or have access to it through routers or other
Layer 3 devices.
If the other devices are not members of the same subnet as the
switch’s IP address, the switch must have a default gateway. This
is the IP address of an interface on a router or other Layer 3
routing device that is the first hop to reaching the subnets of the
devices. For background information, refer to Chapter 13, “IPv4
and IPv6 Management Addresses” on page 257.
A remote device must be configured for Telnet management
before you can manage it with the Telnet client on the switch. It
must have either an IPv4 or IPv6 address, and its Telnet server
must be active.
