Chapter 3 Logging In Through Telnet

3.1 Introduction
You can telnet to a remote switch to manage and maintain the switch. To achieve this,
you need to configure both the switch and the Telnet terminal properly.
Table 3-1 Requirements for Telnet to a switch
Item
Switch
Telnet terminal
Note:
After you log in to the switch through Telnet, you can issue commands to the switch
by way of pasting session text, which cannot exceed 2000 bytes, and the pasted
commands must be in the same view; otherwise, the switch may not execute the
commands correctly.
If the session text exceeds 2000 bytes, you can save it in a configuration file, upload
the configuration file to the switch and reboot the switch with this configuration file.
For details, refer to the File System Management part of the manual.
The way to log in to a switch using Telnet based on IPv6 is the same as that based
on IPv4.
