Note: On S4810 and Z9000 platforms, 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 will be stopped for 10 minutes. Console and SSH service may be used to access the
system during downtime.

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