Telnet Connection

Telnet operates over the IP transport protocol. In this environment,
your management station and any network device you want to
manage over the network must have a valid IP address. Valid IP
addresses consist of four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods.
Each address consists of a network portion and host portion. For
example, the IP address assigned to this switch, 10.1.0.1, consists
of a network portion (10.1.0) and a host portion (1).
To access the switch through a Telnet session, you must first set
the IP address for the switch, and set the default gateway if you
are managing the switch from a different IP subnet. For example:
If your corporate network is connected to another network outside
your office or to the Internet, you need to apply for a registered IP
address. However, if you are attached to an isolated network, then
you can use any IP address that matches the network segment to
which you are attached.
