You can use the telnet command with IPv4 or with IPv6 addresses.

 

A router has a maximum of ®ve Telnet sessions: two servers (inbound to the router),

 

and three clients (outbound from the router).

 

Note: To use Telnet in a pure bridging environment, enable Host Services.

 

Syntax:

 

 

telnet

ip-address terminal-type

 

Example 1: telnet 128.185.10.30 or telnet 128.185.10.30 23 or telnet

 

128.185.10.30

vt100

 

Trying 128.185.10.30 ...
