Access the System Remotely

You can configure the system to access it remotely by Telnet. The method for configuring the C-Series and
E-Series for Telnet access is different from S-Series.
• The C-Series, E-Series, S-Series (except for S25 and S50), and Z9000 have a dedicated management
port and a management routing table that is separate from the IP routing table.
• The S-Series (except the S4810) does not have a dedicated management port, but is managed from any
port. It does not have a separate management routing table.
• All Dell Force10 products can be managed via the front-end data ports as well.
