NOTE
You can override the default port by using the telnet ip_address command with the optional port
operand (range 0-65535). However, the device must be listening on that port for the connection to
succeed.
The following example overrides the default port.
switch# telnet 10.17.37.157 87
Trying 10.17.37.157...
Connected to 10.17.37.157.
Escape character is '^]'.

All Telnet sessions are immediately terminated, and cannot be re-established until the service is re-
enabled.

If you are in VCS mode, you must enter RBridge ID configuration mode before
issuing the command, as shown in the example below.
switch(config)# rbridge-id 3
switch(config-rbridge-id-3)# telnet server shutdown
