In a Telnet session, you
can log on to the switch from a remote network station and access the
switch command-line interface (CLI). The CLI provides a comprehensive
set of features for configuring and monitoring the switch.
Click the Launch a Telnet Console link on
the Telnet window to open a Telnet session. When prompted for a Telnet password, use the Telnet
password assigned to the switch.
Note that the switch must have Telnet access enabled
to access the switch CLI through a Telnet session. Use the Express Setup window to change the Telnet settings. For the default Telnet userid
and password, see Express Setup Advanced Settings.
For more information about the CLI, see the switch software configuration guide and the switch command reference. The Support window provides a link to the switch documentation.
Note: SSL is not supported on Telnet connections with the switch. As a result, when you open a Telnet session from the device manager, the transmission to and from the switch is not secure even though the device manager might be running in secured mode. Be careful with the information that you send through your Telnet sessions. For more information, see Using Secured Sessions.
