Telnet Server
Description
Telnet protocol is intended to provide a fairly general, bi-directional, eight-bit byte oriented
communications facility. The main goal is to allow a standard method of interfacing terminal
devices to each other.
Wandy RouterOS implements industry standard Telnet server. It uses port 23, which must not be
disabled on the router in order to use the feature.
You can enable/disable this service or allow the use of the service to certain IP addresses.
Example
[admin@Wandy] ip service> print detail
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid
0 name="telnet" port=23 address=0.0.0.0/0
1 name="ftp" port=21 address=0.0.0.0/0
