If you are specifying the system by its system name, be sure to enclose the
name in single quotation marks (for example, 'name').
When the Telnet connection is established, you will see the remote system's

Local switch management does not require TCP/IP addresses. If you are
NOT going to have a TCP/IP network then all switches and devices can be
