telnet

Connect through Telnet to a server. The Telnet client and server in Dell Networking support IPv4 and 

IPv6 connections. You can establish a Telnet session directly to the router or a connection can be 

initiated from the router.

NOTE: The Telnet server and client are VRF-aware. Using the vrf parameter in this command, you 

can make a Telnet server or client to listen to a specific VRF. This capability enables a Telent server 

or client to look up the correct routing table and establish a connection.
