telnet

Syntax

Release Information

Command introduced before JUNOS Release 7.4.

Description

Open a telnet session to a remote system. Type Ctrl+] to escape from the telnet session to the telnet command level, and then type quit to exit from telnet.

Options

host — Name or address of the remote system.

8bit — (Optional) Use an 8-bit data path.

bypass-routing — (Optional) Bypass the normal routing tables and send ping requests directly to a system on an attached network. If the system is not on a directly attached network, an error is returned. Use this option to ping a local system through an interface that has no route through it.

inet | inet6 — (Optional) Open an IPv4 or IPv6 session, respectively.

interface interface-name — (Optional) Interface name for the telnet session. (This option does not work when default-address-selection is configured at the [edit system] hierarchy level, because this configuration uses the loopback interface as the source address for all locally generated IP packets.)

logical-system logical-system-name — (Optional) Name of a particular logical system for the telnet attempt.

no-resolve — (Optional) Do not attempt to determine the hostname that corresponds to the IP address.

port port-number — (Optional) Port number or service name on the remote system.

routing-instance routing-instance-name — (Optional) Name of the routing instance for the telnet attempt.

source source-address — (Optional) Source address of the telnet connection.

Additional Information

Beginning with Release 8.0, you can limit the number of times a user can attempt to enter a password while logging in through telnet. To specify the number of times a user can attempt to enter a password to log in through telnet, include the retry-options statement at the [edit system login] hierarchy level. For details, see the JUNOS System Basics Configuration Guide.
