Telnet Connection

Telnet access via a connection to the Management port provides the same options for user and administrator access as those available through the Console port or SSH. You can access the chassis with a Telnet connection from a PC or workstation connected to the network once the following conditions are met:

• the chassis has successfully initialized

• Telnet connections have been enabled using the config>system>security>telnet-server (or telnet6-server) command

• the Management port has been configured using the bof>address command as shown below.

CLI Syntax:

bof 
   address ip-prefix/ip-prefix-length [active | standby]

where:

address is an IPv4 (or IPv6) address
