To display the Telnet window, choose Tools >
Telnet.
Click the Launch a Telnet Console link on the
Telnet window to open a Telnet session. 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.
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 setting and password.
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.
