Using Telnet to get to Another Network Device

To telnet to another device, use the following commands.
NOTE: The device allows 120 Telnet sessions per minute, allowing the login and logout of 10 Telnet sessions, 12 times in a minute.
If the system reaches this non-practical limit, the Telnet service is stopped for 10 minutes. You can use console and SSH service
to access the system during downtime.
• Telnet to a device with an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
EXEC Privilege
telnet [ip-address]
If you do not enter an IP address, Dell Networking OS enters a Telnet dialog that prompts you for one.
Enter an IPv4 address in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D).
Enter an IPv6 address in the format 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000. Elision of zeros is supported.

Lock CONFIGURATION Mode

Dell Networking OS allows multiple users to make configurations at the same time. You can lock CONFIGURATION mode so that only one
user can be in CONFIGURATION mode at any time (Message 2).
You can set two types of lockst: auto and manual.
• Set auto-lock using the configuration mode exclusive auto command from CONFIGURATION mode. When you set auto-
lock, every time a user is in CONFIGURATION mode, all other users are denied access. This means that you can exit to EXEC Privilege
mode, and re-enter CONFIGURATION mode without having to set the lock again.
• Set manual lock using the configure terminal lock command from CONFIGURATION mode. When you configure a manual
lock, which is the default, you must enter this command each time you want to enter CONFIGURATION mode and deny access to
others.

Viewing the Configuration Lock Status

If you attempt to enter CONFIGURATION mode when another user has locked it, you may view which user has control of
CONFIGURATION mode using the show configuration lock command from EXEC Privilege mode.
