Local or Remote Telnet

If properly set up, the CLI can be accessed locally or remotely using Telnet. You

can use Telnet (or SSH or the Web GUI) to access any IP interface on an Alcatel

Telnet access requires that the switch management interface and default

gateway be defined. This is usually done during initial setup (see Step 3 on

Use the local serial console to log in as the administrator.

Enter configuration mode and select the management interface

NOTE—If no default gateway is configured, remote access is available only for

devices on the same subnet as the management interface.
