Telnet6 Operation

Telnet6 Operation

This section describes Telnet operation for IPv6 on the switch. For IPv4 Telnet operation, refer to the Management and Configuration Guide for your switch.

Outbound Telnet6 to Another Device

Syntax: telnet < link-local-addr>%vlan< vid > telnet < global-unicast-addr>

Outbound Telnet6 establishes a Telnet session from the switch

CLI to another IPv6 device, and includes these options.

•Telnet for Link-Local Addresses on the same VLAN requires the link-local address and interface scope:

<link-local-addr >: Specifies the link-local IPv6 address of the destination device.

%vlan< vid >: Suffix specifying the interface on which the destination device is located. No spaces are allowed in the suffix.

•Telnet for Global Unicast Addresses requires a global unicast address for the destination. Also, the switch must be receiving router advertisements from an IPv6 gateway router.

<global-unicast-addr>: Specifies the global IPv6 address of the destination device.

For example, to Telnet to another IPv6 device having a link-local address of fe80::215:60ff:fe79:8980 and on the same VLAN interface (VLAN 10), you would use the following command:

ProCurve(config)# telnet fe80::215:60ff:fe79:980%vlan10

If the switch is receiving router advertisements from an IPv6 default gateway router, you can Telnet to a device on the same VLAN or another VLAN or subnet by using its global unicast address. For example, to Telnet to a device having an IPv6 global unicast address of 2001:db8::215:60ff:fe79:980, you would enter the following command:

ProCurve(config)# telnet 2001:db8::215:60ff:fe79:980
