Step 1: Configure the user name and password for Telnet on the switch operating as the
Telnet server. Refer to section
Telnet Configuration with Authentication Mode Being
None
”, section Telnet Configuration with Authentication Mode Being Password, and
Telnet Configuration with Authentication Mode Being Scheme for more. By default,
Telnet users need to pass the password authentication to login.
Step 2: Telnet to the switch operating as the Telnet client.
Step 3: Execute the following command on the switch operating as the Telnet client:
<H3C> telnet xxxx
Where xxxx is the IP address or the host name of the switch operating as the Telnet
server. You can use the ip host to assign a host name to a switch.
Step 4: Enter the password. If the password is correct, the CLI prompt (such as <H3C>)
appears. If all VTY user interfaces of the switch are in use, you will fail to establish the
connection and receive the message that says “All user interfaces are used, please try
later!”.
Step 5: After successfully Telnetting to the switch, you can configure the switch or
display the information about the switch by executing corresponding commands. You
can also type ? at any time for help. Refer to the following chapters for the information
about the commands.
