Running a TELNET Client in the NonStop™ Kernel
Environment
The remainder of this section discusses running the TELNET client in the NonStop™
Kernel environment.
Running a TELNET Client in the NonStop™
Kernel Environment
To run the TELNET client, enter the TELNET command. The form of the TELNET
command is:
run-option
is a TACL RUN command option. See the RUN command in the TACL Reference
Manual for a complete description of the run options.
-s IP-address
specifies one of the subnet IP addresses that the user has configured for the
TCP/IP process and wants to use to connect to a remote host. If the user specifies
an invalid IP address, TELNET displays an error message and stops.
host
identifies the remote host system. You can specify host as a host name or host IP
address. See “Host Names” and Addressing Remote Hosts on page 8-5 for
information on how to obtain host names and how to address remote hosts.
If you do not specify host, the TELNET client places you in command mode and
displays the TELNET prompt:
telnet>
You can enter TELNET client commands at this prompt. TELNET client commands
are described in TELNET Client Commands
on page 9-1.
If you specify a host, the TELNET client connects you to the remote system and
places you in input mode. TELNET negotiates with the remote system to determine
what terminal options are available. After TELNET completes the negotiations,
prompts from the remote system appear.
port
identifies the TCP port number. The default (well-known) port number is 23. You
must specify the port number of the Telserv process you wish to communicate with.
