Establishing Telnet Sessions
Establishing Telnet Sessions
You can establish a management connection to the XP by connecting a terminal to the
management port of the XP and by establishing a telnet connection to a remote host. To
establish a telnet connection, connect your network to the 10/100 MDI port on the XP.
The XP allows up to four simultaneous telnet sessions. There are commands that allow
you to monitor telnet use and to end a specific telnet session. You can also specify the
number of minutes a serial or telnet connection can remain idle before the connection is
terminated by the control module. The default is 5 minutes. You can disable this feature,
by setting the time-out value to zero.
Additionally, you can telnet to another XP during a CLI session. To start a telnet session to
another XP, enter the following command in User or Enable mode.
To end your telnet session, simply type “exit.”
Setting CLI Parameters
The XP provides various commands for controlling the behavior and display of the CLI.
The cli set command completion command controls the behavior of the CLI when you
enter commands. When you turn on command completion, the CLI attempts to
automatically complete a command that is partially entered. Typing enough characters of
a command keyword to uniquely identify it and pressing the space bar to move to the
next word, causes the CLI to complete the command word and move on.

XP.
