ExtremeWare EPICenter Software Installation and User Guide 7-3
Using Telnet with Extreme Switches
The Telnet Connections list displays the switches in the device group, and shows the
status of any macros that have run or are being run on the switch. If macros are not
supported on an individual switch (true of third party switches and a few Extreme
switches) the Macro Status will be “Macros not supported.”
If a switch is not supported by the EPICenter interactive Telnet feature, it will not
appear in the Telnet Connections list, or in the Component Tree in this applet. The
Summit24e2T and Summit24e2X are examples of devices that are not supported in
the EPICenter Telnet applet.
WhenaTelnetsessioniscurrentlyopenona switch,theswitchname is highlightedinbold
in the list of switches in the Component Tree.
If a switch displayed in the Component Tree has an “S” in a red circle along with the
name, that means that the switch is not responding to SNMP requests. However,
the switch may still respond to HTTP or Telnet requests.
