Reconfigure inbound telnet access
In the default configuration, inbound Telnet access is enabled.
Syntax:
[no] telnet-server [listen | <oobm | data | both> ]
Enables or disables inbound Telnet access on a switch.
Use the no version of the command to disable inbound Telnet access.
The listen parameter is available only on switches that have a separate out-of-band
management port. Values for this parameter are:
• oobm— inbound Telnet access is enabled only on the out-of-band management
port.(This port is available on selected switch models.)
• data— inbound Telnet access is enabled only on the data ports.
• both— inbound Telnet access is enabled on both the out-of-band management
port and on the data ports. This is the default value.
Refer to Appendix I, "Network Out-of-Band Management" in this guide for more
information on out-of-band management.
The listen parameter is not available on switches that do not have a separate
out-of-band management port.
To disable inbound Telnet access:
HP Switch(config)# no telnet-server
To re-enable inbound Telnet access:
HP Switch(config)# telnet-server
Outbound telnet to another device
This feature operates independently of the telnet-server status and enables you to Telnet to another
device that has an IP address.
