telnet
Connect through Telnet to a server. The Telnet client and server in Dell EMC Networking support IPv4 and IPv6 connections. You can
establish a Telnet session directly to the router or a connection can be initiated from the router.
NOTE: The Telnet server and client are VRF-aware. Using the vrf parameter in this command, you can make a Telnet
server or client to listen to a specific VRF. This capability enables a Telent server or client to look up the correct routing
table and establish a connection.
