Table C-70. Issuing Commands Using Telnet - Nortel 2000 Software Reference Manual

Chapter 3 Using the CLI Commands
Remote Annex Administrator's Guide for UNIX
Book C-210
If a foreign port is not specified, telnet defaults to port 23. The local port
is chosen to represent the user location as follows:
• If the user connects to the Remote Annex via a serial port
through a modem or a terminal, the local port is chosen as 10000
+ port*100 + sequential, where port is the serial line number (1
to 99), and sequential is a number (0 to 99) that distinguishes
connections, and is chosen sequentially.
• If the user connects to the Remote Annex via the network, by
using telnet annexname, the local port is chosen as 10000 +
sequential, where sequential is a number (0 to 99) that
distinguishes connections and is chosen sequentially. If all local
ports from 10000 to 10099 are in use, a random unused port in
the range 20000 to 29999 is chosen.

(continued on next page)
Description
Closes a telnet session and returns to the CLI
prompt.
Displays the state of the toggle arguments and the
definitions of the special characters.
Specifies the input mode. The value for type is
specified as line for line-by-line and character for
character-at-a-time. The echo argument specifies
whether echoing is performed by the Remote Annex
(local_echo) or by the host (remote_echo). The
defaults for echo are remote_echo for character
mode and local_echo for line mode.
Opens a connection to the specified host. You can
enter either the host's name or its Internet address.
If a port is not specified, telnet connects to the
default Telnet port (23). The –r argument turns off
all Telnet protocol interpretation; –t opens a
transparent TCP connection to the specified port
(you must specify the port number).
