telnet slot

telnet slot slot-number

Description

Allows you to Telnet from any source node to any other target node when both nodes are in the same active topology.

Syntax Description

slot-number Specifies the number of a slot that is currently occupied by the intended target node.

Default

N/A.

Usage Guidelines

When the target node accepts the related TCP connection, you are not prompted for your user name or password. You are logged in to the same account (with corresponding rights) with which you accessed the originating slot.

If the failsafe account is used, user ID and password authentication takes place on the specified node. Otherwise, authentication takes place on the master node, regardless of the source and target nodes used.

Telnet must be enabled on the SummitStack for this command to function.

Example

The following command accesses the node in slot 2:

Slot-1 Stack.3 # telnet slot 2
Entering character mode
Escape character is '^]'.

telnet session telnet0 on /dev/ptyb0
