Interface Access and System Information
Interface Access: Console/Serial Link, Web, and Inbound Telnet
Outbound Telnet to Another Device. This feature operates indepen­
dently of the telnet-server status and enables you to Telnet to another device
that has an IP address.
Syntax: telnet <ipv4-addr | ipv6-addr | hostname | switch-num> [oobm]
For example, if the host "Labswitch" is in the domain abc.com, you can enter
the following command and the destination is resolved to "Lab­
switch.abc.com".
You can also enter the full domain name in the command:
You can use the show telnet command to display the resolved IP address.
7-6
Initiates an outbound telnet session to another network
device. The destination can be specified as:
• IPv4 address
• IPv6 address
• Hostname
• Stack number of a member switch (1-16) if the
switch is a commander in a stack and stacking is
enabled
• The oobm parameter specifies that the Telnet
traffic will go out from the out-of-band manage­
ment interface. If this parameter is not specified,
the Telnet traffic goes out from the data interface.
Refer to Appendix G, "Network Out-of-Band
Management" in this guide for more information
on out-of-band management.
