2.2 Telnet Management 
2.2.1 Telnet 
2.2.1.1 Introduction to Telnet 
Telnet is a simple remote terminal protocol for remote login. Using Telnet, the user can login to 
a remote host with its IP address of hostname from his own workstation. Telnet can send the 
user’s  keystrokes  to  the  remote  host  and  send  the  remote  host  output  to  the  user’s  screen 
through  TCP  connection.  This  is  a  transparent  service,  as  to  the  user,  the  keyboard  and 
monitor seems to be connected to the remote host directly. 
Telnet employs the Client-Server mode, the local system is the Telnet client and the remote 
host is the Telnet server. Switch can be either the Telnet Server or the Telnet client.  
When switch is used as the Telnet server, the user can use the Telnet client program included 
in Windows or the other operation systems to login to switch, as described earlier in the In-
band  management  section.  As a  Telnet  server,  switch  allows  up  to  5  telnet  client  TCP 
connections. 
And as Telnet client, using telnet command under Admin Mode allows the user to login to the 
other remote hosts. Switch can only establish TCP connection to one remote host. If a 
connection to another remote host is desired, the current TCP connection must be dropped.
