on VTY. Disable EXEC time out by setting the time-out period to 0.

Using Telnet to Access Another Network Device

To telnet to another device, use the following commands.

NOTE: On the Z9500, the system allows 120 Telnet sessions per minute, allowing the login and

logout of 10 Telnet sessions, 12 times in a minute. If the system reaches this non-practical limit, the

Telnet service is stopped for 10 minutes. You can use console and SSH service to access the system

during downtime.

• Telnet to a device with an IPv4 or IPv6 address.

EXEC Privilege

telnet [ip-address]

If you do not enter an IP address, the system enters a Telnet dialog that prompts you for one.

Enter an IPv4 address in dotted decimal format (A.B.C.D).

Enter an IPv6 address in the format 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000. Elision of zeros
is supported.

Example of the telnet Command for Device Access

Dell# telnet 10.11.80.203

Trying 10.11.80.203...
