Telnetting To Another Switch From The Current Switch - H3C S5100-SI Operation Manual

Telnetting to another Switch from the Current Switch

You can Telnet to another switch from the current switch. In this case, the current switch operates
as the client, and the other operates as the server. If the interconnected Ethernet ports of the two
switches are in the same LAN segment, make sure the IP addresses of the two management
VLAN interfaces to which the two Ethernet ports belong to are of the same network segment, or
the route between the two VLAN interfaces is available.
As shown in
another switch (labeled as Telnet server) by executing the telnet command and then configure it.

2) Telnet to the switch operating as the Telnet client.
3) Execute the following command on the switch operating as the Telnet client:
<Sysname> telnet xxxx
Note that xxxx is the IP address or the host name of the switch operating as the Telnet server. You
can use the ip host to assign a host name to a switch.
4) After successful login, the CLI prompt (such as <Sysname>) appears. If all the VTY user
interfaces of the switch are in use, you will fail to establish the connection and receive the
message that says "All user interfaces are used, please try later!".
5) After successfully Telnetting to the switch, you can configure the switch or display the
information about the switch by executing corresponding commands. You can also type ? at
any time for help. Refer to the following chapters for the information about the commands.
