telnet
Opens a Telnet client session with a remote device.
Syntax telnet {ip-addr | hostname} [port port-num]
Defaults MSS attempts to establish Telnet connections with TCP port 23 by default.
Access Enabled.
History Introduced in MSS Version 1.1.
Usage To end a Telnet session from the remote device, press Ctrl+t or type exit in the management
session on the remote device. To end a client session from the local device, use the clear sessions
telnet client command.
If the configuration of the MX on which you enter the telnet command has an ACL that denies Telnet
client traffic, the ACL also denies access by the telnet command.
Examples In the following example, an administrator establishes a Telnet session with another MX
and enters a command on the remote MX:
MX# telnet 10.10.10.90
Session 0 pty tty2.d Trying 10.10.10.90...
Connected to 10.10.10.90
Disconnect character is '^t'
