Before you can start an outgoing Telnet session, you need to configure the switch IP parameters. To open a Telnet connection, you must specify the host IP address or the host name of the device you want to connect to. Check the user manual supplied with the Telnet facility if you are unsure of how to do this. Although the switch accepts IPv6 connections, you can only Telnet from the switch to another device with an IPv4 address.
You must configure DNS in order to use the host_name option.
This section provides information about the characters supported by the switch for host names and remote IP addresses.
When naming or configuring an IP address for your network server, remember the requirements listed above.
The vr_name option specifies the name of the virtual router. The valid virtual router names at system boot-up are VR-Mgmt, VR-Control, and VR-Default; however, you can only Telnet on VR-Mgmt and VR-Default. In ExtremeXOS 10.1, the valid virtual routers are VR-0, VR-1, and VR-2 respectively, and Telnet used VR-0 by default. For more information about virtual routers, see Virtual Routers.
