Usage Guidelines
The command usage guidelines are as follows:
l This feature is supported from the SSH session of the controller only.
l There is an inactivity timeout for the CLI sessions. When an administrator initiates a remote session (inner)
from the controller’s SSH session (outer), and the remote session takes more time than the inactivity
timeout session, the outer session times out although the inner session is active. The administrator has to
log back in to the outer session once logged off from the inner session.
l Designated telnet client control keys do not work for remote telnet sessions. When an administrator
initiates a remote telnet session (inner) from the controller’s SSH session (outer), the designated telnet client
control keys functions for the outer SSH session only. The administrator should designate unique control
keys for each remote telnet sessions.
To end the remote host session, execute the exit command. The remote host displays the following message:
Connection closed by foreign host.
Example
The following command initiates a remote telnet session from the controller to a remote host:
(host) #telnet admin 192.0.2.1
User: <enter remote host username>
Password: <enter remote host password>
The following command ends the remote host session:
(remote-host) #exit
Connection closed by foreign host.
