Initiating an outbound Telnet session to another device
Initiating an outbound Telnet session to another network device
To initiate an outbound Telnet session, do one of the following:
Before you initiate an outbound Telnet session to another network device, you must insure that:
The switch has a separate out-of-band management port, if you want to use an out-of-band management port for the outbound Telnet traffic. See Appendix I, "Network Out-of-Band Management" in this guide for more information about out-of-band management.
Stacking is enabled, if you want to initiate an outbound Telnet session to a member switch that is a commander in a stack.
In these commands, the destination device for the outbound Telnet session is specified as an IPv4 address, IPv6 address, hostname, or stack number (1-16) of a member switch.
Examples
If the host "Labswitch" is in the domain abc.com, you can enter the following command and the destination is resolved to "Labswitch.abc.com":
switch(config)# telnet Labswitch
You can also enter the full domain name of the host in the command:
switch(config)# telnet Labswitch.abc.com
You can use the show telnet command to display the resolved IP address.
