This chapter shows you how to access a switch via Telnet or web configurator directly through
the EMS. You may need to do this to test the switch network connection for example.
8.1 Accessing the switch
Access the switch remotely via Telnet or web browser.
Note: When you access a switch via Telnet or the web configurator, you CANNOT
make any changes to that switch using the EMS.
8.1.1 Telnet
Telnet is the login and terminal emulation protocol common on the Internet and in UNIX
environments. It operates over TCP/IP networks. Its primary function is to allow users to log
into remote host systems.
The administrator uses Telnet from a computer on a remote network to access the switch. You
can use remote Telnet access as shown next.
1 Select a switch from the list of devices shown in the Device List Panel.
2 Click Tool and then Telnet to open a console session for Telnet access to the switch.
