telnet
- Tracy Yang
The telnet command is used to connect to remote servers from the current device using the Telnet protocol. Before using the telnet command to connect to a Telnet server, the Telnet client and the Telnet server need to be route reachable, and the Telnet service must be enabled on the Telnet server side.
Command Syntax
From the ">" prompt, use the following format,
telnet {<ip-address>|<host-name>} [<port-number>] [vrf <vrf-name>]
From the "#" prompt, add run in front of the command,
