Special Telnet Sequences

At any time during an active Telnet session, Telnet commands can be listed by pressing the Ctrl-shift-6-? keys at the system prompt.

A sample of this list follows. Note that the Ctrl-shift-6 sequence appears as ^^ on the screen.

Several concurrent Telnet sessions can be opened and switched. To open a subsequent session, the current connection has to be suspended by pressing the escape sequence keys (Ctrl-shift-6) and x to return to the system command prompt. Then open a new connection with the telnet User EXEC mode command.

Options Description
/echo Enables local echo.
/quiet Prevents onscreen display of all messages from the software.
/source-interface Specifies the source interface.
/stream Turns on stream processing, which enables a raw TCP stream with no Telnet
control sequences. A stream connection does not process Telnet options and
can be appropriate for connections to ports running UNIX-to-UNIX Copy
Program (UUCP) and other non-Telnet protocols.
