Interface Access and System Information
Interface Access: Console/Serial Link, Web, and Inbound Telnet
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
For switches that have a separate out-of-band management
port, the oobm parameter specifies that the Telnet traffic will
go out from the out-of-band management interface. If this
parameter is not specified, the Telnet traffic goes out from the
data interface. The oobm parameter is not available on
switches that do not have a separate out-of-band management
port. Refer to Appendix I, “Network Out-of-Band Manage-
ment” 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.
