Telnet server
To allow Telnet TCP/IP connections to an OS10 switch, enable the Telnet server. The OS10 Telnet server uses the Debian telnetd
package. By default, the Telnet server is disabled.
When you enable the Telnet server, connect to the switch using the IP address congured on the management or any front-panel port. The
Telnet server conguration is persistent and is maintained after you reload the switch. To verify the Telnet server conguration, enter the
show running-configuration command.
Enable Telnet server
OS10(config)# ip telnet server enable
Disable Telnet server
OS10(config)# no ip telnet server enable

on the management VRF, use the ip telnet server vrf management command.
