Ensure that the IP parameters described in Configuring Switch IP Parameters are set up and then start
an outgoing Telnet session.
Telnet is enabled and uses
VR-Mgmt by
default.
Note
Maximize the Telnet screen so that it correctly displays screens
that automatically update.
-
Use Telnet to establish a connection to the
switch.
-
Specify the IP address or host name of the device that
you want to connect to.
Check the user manual supplied with the Telnet
facility if you are unsure of how to do this.
After the connection is established,
you see the switch prompt and you can log in. The same is true if you use the switch to
connect to another host. From the CLI, you must specify the IP address or host name of the
device that you want to connect to.
-
If the host is accessible and you are allowed access,
you may log in.
For more information about using the Telnet
client on the switch, see Connect to Another Host Using Telnet.
