2.2.2 Telnet Ethernet Switch through Ethernet Switch

After a user has logged into a switch, he or she can configure another switch through
the switch via Telnet. The local switch serves as Telnet client and the peer switch
serves as Telnet server. If the ports connecting these two switches are in a same local
network, their IP addresses must be configured in the same network segment.
Otherwise, the two switches must establish a route that can reach each other.
As shown in the figure below, after you telnet to an Ethernet switch, you can run telnet
command to log in and configure another Ethernet switch.

Step 1: Authenticate the Telnet user via the Console port on the Telnet Server (Ethernet
switch) before login.
Note:
By default, the password is required for authenticating the Telnet user to log in the Ethernet switch. If a
user logs in via the Telnet without password, he will see the prompt "password required, but none set.".

Step 3: Perform the following operations on the Telnet Client:

it is the hostname, the switch shall have the static resolution function.)
