Using Telnet to Access Another Network Device

To Telnet to another device, use the following commands.

NOTE

: The system allows 120 Telnet sessions per minute, allowing the login and logout of 10 Telnet sessions, 12 times in a minute.

If the system reaches this non-practical limit, the Telnet service is stopped for 10 minutes. You can use console and SSH service

to access the system during downtime.

• Telnet to a device with an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

EXEC Privilege

telnet [ip-address]

If you do not enter an IP address, the system enters a Telnet dialog that prompts you for one.

Enter an IPv4 address in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D).

Enter an IPv6 address in the format 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000. Elision of zeros is supported.
