Enabling the Telnet Server Function

Before a user terminal establishes a Telnet connection with a device, log in to the device through the console port to enable the Telnet server function on the device. You can then use Telnet to remotely log in to the device.

Context

Perform the following steps on the device to be used as a Telnet server as required:

Procedure

Enable the Telnet IPv4 server function.
1. Run system-view
  
  The system view is displayed.
2. Run telnet server enable
  The Telnet IPv4 server function is enabled.
3. Run commit
  
  The configuration is committed.
Enable the Telnet IPv6 server function.
1. Run system-view
  
  The system view is displayed.
2. Run telnet ipv6 server enable
  The Telnet IPv6 server function is enabled.
3. Run commit
  
  The configuration is committed.
If you disable the Telnet server function on a device, the established Telnet connections are not interrupted but new Telnet connections are denied. In this situation, you can log in to the device only by using SSH or through the console port.
