Note:
A Telnet connection will be terminated if you delete or modify the IP address of the
VLAN interface in the Telnet session.
By default, commands of level 0 are available to Telnet users authenticated by
password. Refer to the Command Hierarchy/Command View section in chapter 1 for
information about command hierarchy.

3.5.2 Telneting to Another Switch from the Current Switch

You can Telnet to another switch from the current switch. In this case, the current switch
operates as the client, and the other operates as the server. If the interconnected
Ethernet ports of the two switches are in the same LAN segment, make sure the IP
addresses of the two management VLAN interfaces to which the two Ethernet ports
belong to are of the same network segment, or the route between the two VLAN
interfaces is available.
As shown in Figure 3-6, after Telneting to a switch (labeled as Telnet client), you can
Telnet to another switch (labeled as Telnet server) by executing the telnet command
and then to configure the later.

Step 1: Configure the user name and password for Telnet on the switch operating as the
Telnet server. Refer to section 3.2 "Telnet Configuration with Authentication Mode
Being None", section 3.3
Password", and section 3.4 "Telnet Configuration with Authentication Mode Being
Scheme" for more.
Step 2: Telnet to the switch operating as the Telnet client.
Step 3: Execute the following command on the switch operating as the Telnet client:
<Quidway> telnet xxxx
Where xxxx is the IP address or the host name of the switch operating as the Telnet
server. You can use the ip host to assign a host name to a switch.
Step 4: Enter the password. If the password is correct, the CLI prompt (such as
<Quidway>) appears. If all VTY user interfaces of the switch are in use, you will fail to
establish the connection and receive the message that says "All user interfaces are
used, please try later!".
