Telnet Connection
Telnet is a terminal emulation TCP/IP protocol. ASCII terminals can be
virtually connected to the local device through a TCP/IP protocol network.
Telnet connections are enabled by default, and the Telnet port number is 23.
The switch supports up to four simultaneous Telnet sessions. All CLI
commands can be used over a Telnet session.
To connect to the switch using Telnet, the switch must have an IP address,
and the switch and management station must have network connectivity. You
can use any Telnet client on the management station to connect to the
switch.
You can also initiate a Telnet session from the OpenManage Switch
Administrator. For more information, see "Initiating a Telnet Session from the
Web Interface" on page 244.
NOTE: By default, no authentication is required for console access.
However, if an authentication method has been configured for console port
access, the User: login prompt displays.
NOTE: SSH, which is more secure than Telnet, is disabled by default.
