Example 19 Telnet to another device

To Telnet to another IPv6 device having a link-local address of fe80::215:60ff:fe79:8980 and on

the same VLAN interface (VLAN 10), use the following command:

HP Switch(config)# telnet fe80::215:60ff:fe79:980%vlan10

If the switch is receiving RAs from an IPv6 default gateway router, you can Telnet to a device on

the same VLAN or another VLAN or subnet by using its global unicast address.

To Telnet to a device having an IPv6 global unicast address of 2001:db8::215:60ff:fe79:980,

enter the following command:

HP Switch(config)# telnet 2001:db8::215:60ff:fe79:980
