Using Secure Shell
The ipv6-address parameter specifies the address of a remote host. You must specify this address
in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
The port-number parameter specifies the port number on which the device establishes the Telnet
connection. You can specify a value between 1 - 65535. If you do not specify a port number, the
device establishes the Telnet connection on port 23.
If the IPv6 address you specify for the telnet ipv6-address command is a link-local address, you
must specify the outgoing-interface ethernet port | ve number parameter. This parameter specifies
the interface that must be used to reach the remote host. If you specify an Ethernet interface, also
specify the port number associated with the interface. If you specify a VE interface, also specify the
VE number.
Establishing a Telnet session from an IPv6 host
To establish a Telnet session from an IPv6 host to the device, open your Telnet application and
specify the IPv6 address of the router.
Using Secure Shell
Secure Shell (SSH) is a mechanism that allows secure remote access to management functions on
the device. SSH provides a function similar to Telnet. You can log into and configure the device
using a publicly or commercially available SSH client program, just as you can with Telnet. However,
unlike Telnet, which provides no security, SSH provides a secure, encrypted connection to the
device.
To open an SSH session from an IPv6 host running an SSH client program to the device, open your
SSH client program and specify the IPv6 address of the router.
