Telnet Connection
Telnet access provides the same options for user and administrator access as those available 
through the console port. You can access the router with a Telnet connection from a PC or 
workstation connected to the network once the following conditions are met:
• the router has successfully initialized
• the Management port (Figure 36) has been configured using the bof>address 
command (see CLI Syntax)
CLI Syntax: bof 
address ip-prefix/ip-prefix-length [primary | 
secondary]
where:
ip-prefix is in the a.b.c.d format
ip-prefix-length is a value in the range [0..32]
