Using the Interactive Telnet
Application
This chapter describes how to use the Interactive Telnet application for:
• Configuring Extreme devices using Telnet and the ExtremeWare Command Line
Interface (CLI)
• Configuring third-party devices using interactive Telnet
Overview of the Interactive Telnet Applet
Users with Administrator or Manager access can view and modify configuration
information for Extreme switches (Summit, Alpine, and Black Diamond switches) and
third-party devices managed by EPICenter using Telnet and the ExtremeWare Command
Line Interface (CLI). You can also use the interactive Telnet capability to view and modify
configuration information for third-party devices being managed by EPICenter.
The Telnet application provides two usage modes:
• A Macro View, whereyou can set up CLI command macros,and run them on multiple
switches in a single operation. You set a macro to run repeatedly, and can save them in
the EPICenter database for future use.
• An individual session mode, where you can open a session on an individual device,
and execute commands just as you would from a standard Telnet interface.
