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.

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.

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.
