This article explains how to enable Telnet on a remote terminal and display the Telnet server status. The Command Line Interface (CLI) can be used to configure Skylight Flex from a remote terminal using Telnet.
Note: To login into Skylight Flex, enter your username (default is root) and password (default is admin123).
To enable Telnet
- Execute the following command in Global Configuration mode:
Your Product# feature telnet
end
- View the Telnet service status in Privileged EXEC Mode:
Your Product# show telnet server
telnet service enabled
To disable Telnet
- Execute the following command in Global Configuration mode:
Your Product# no feature telnet
end
IMPORTANT: While connected via Telnet, the no feature telnet command is not functional. The command will return:
% Telnet feature cannot be disabled, as telnet session/s are active
% Failed to stop TELNET Service
However, it can be executed when SSH is connected.
- View the Telnet service status in Privileged EXEC Mode:
Your Product# show telnet server
telnet service disabled
