Telnet Management Session
You can remotely manage the switch from a workstation on your network
using the Telnet application protocol. This type of management session is
referred to in this guide as a remote management session because you do
not have to be in the wiring closet where the switch is located.
To establish a Telnet management session with a switch, there must be at
least one enhanced stacking switch in the subnet with an IP address. Only
one switch in a subnet needs to have an IP address. Once you have
established a Telnet management session with the switch that has an IP
address, you can use the enhanced stacking feature of the management
software to access all other enhanced stacking switches that reside in the
same subnet.
Note
For further information on enhanced stacking, refer to “Enhanced
Stacking Overview” on page 80.
Note
For instructions on how to start a Telnet management session, refer
to “Starting a Telnet Management Session” on page 44.
A Telnet management session gives you access to nearly all of a switch’s
operating parameters. You can perform nearly all the same functions from
a Telnet management session as you can from a local management
session.
