Telnet6 Operation
This section describes Telnet operation for IPv6 on the switch. For IPv4 Telnet
operation, refer to the Management and Configuration Guide for your
switch.
Outbound Telnet6 to Another Device
For example, to Telnet to another IPv6 device having a link-local address of
fe80::215:60ff:fe79:8980 and on the same VLAN interface (VLAN 10), you
would use the following command:
ProCurve(config)# telnet fe80::215:60ff:fe79:980%vlan10
If the switch is receiving router advertisements from an IPv6 default gateway
router, you can Telnet to a device on the same VLAN or another VLAN or
subnet by using its global unicast address. For example, to Telnet to a device
having an IPv6 global unicast address of 2001:db8::215:60ff:fe79:980, you
would enter the following command:
ProCurve(config)# telnet 2001:db8::215:60ff:fe79:980
Syntax: telnet < link-local-addr >%vlan< vid >
telnet < global-unicast-addr >
Outbound Telnet6 establishes a Telnet session from the switch
CLI to another IPv6 device, and includes these options.
• Telnet for Link-Local Addresses on the same VLAN requires
the link-local address and and interface scope:
< link-local-addr >:
Specifies the link-local IPv6 address of
the destination device.
%vlan< vid >: Suffix specifying the interface on which the
destination device is located. No spaces are allowed in the
suffix.
• Telnet for Global Unicast Addresses requires a global unicast
address for the destination. Also, the switch must be
receiving router advertisements from an IPv6 gateway
router.
< global-unicast-addr >: Specifies the global IPv6 address of
the destination device.
