Interface Access and System Information
Interface Access: Console/Serial Link, Web, and Inbound Telnet
Outbound Telnet to Another Device. This feature operates indepen-
dently of the telnet-server status and enables you to Telnet to another device
that has an IP address.
For example, if the host “Labswitch” is in the domain abc.com, you can enter
the following command and the destination is resolved to “Lab-
switch.abc.com”.
ProCurve(config)# telnet Labswitch
You can also enter the full domain name in the command:
ProCurve(config)# telnet Labswitch.abc.com
You can use the show telnet command to display the resolved IP address.
Syntax: telnet <ipv4-addr | ipv6-addr | hostname | switch-num> [oobm]
Initiates an outbound telnet session to another network
device. The destination can be specified as:
• IPv4 address
• IPv6 address
•Hostname
• Stack number of a member switch (1-16) if the
switch is a commander in a stack and stacking is
enabled
•The oobm parameter specifies that the Telnet
traffic will go out from the out-of-band manage-
ment interface. If this parameter is not specified,
the Telnet traffic goes out from the data interface.
Refer to Appendix G, “Network Out-of-Band
Management” in this guide for more information
on out-of-band management.
