8.13  telnet 
This command invokes a Telnet session from the device towards a remote host for remote 
management. A remote administrator can access the device’s CLI from the WAN leg while 
performing the full authentication process. The administrator can then invoke Telnet sessions 
towards other devices in the LAN to manage them. No special pin-holes or forwarding rules 
need be declared to manage them.
