Unblocking Telnet
1. Connect to the switch through a serial port or SSH and log in as admin.
2. Type in the ipfilter
--delete command.
Refer to “Deleting a rule to an IP Filter policy” on page 159 for more information on deleting IP
filter rules.
3. To permanently delete the policy, type the ipfilter
--save command.
If you deleted the rule to permit Telnet, you will need to add a rule to permit Telnet.

supported features and capabilities. Table 22 lists the listener applications that Brocade switches
either block or do not start.
