sessions 12 times in a minute. If the system reaches this non-practical limit, the telnet service will be
stopped for 10 minutes. Console and SSH service may be used to access the system during downtime.

Telnet to a device with an IPv4 or IPv6 address. If you do not enter an IP
address, FTOS enters a Telnet dialog that prompts you for one.
• Enter an IPv4 address in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D).
• Enter an IPv6 address in the format
0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000. Elision of zeros is
supported.
