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.
