2.2.2 Telnet Ethernet Switch through Ethernet Switch
After a user has logged into a switch, he or she can configure another switch through
the switch via Telnet. The local switch serves as Telnet client and the peer switch
serves as Telnet server. If the ports connecting these two switches are in a same local
network, their IP addresses must be configured in the same network segment.
Otherwise, the two switches must establish a route that can reach each other.
As shown in the figure below, after you telnet to an Ethernet switch, you can run telnet
command to log in and configure another Ethernet switch.

Step 1: Authenticate the Telnet user via the Console port on the Telnet Server (Ethernet
switch) before login.
Note:
By default, the password is required for authenticating the Telnet user to log in the Ethernet switch. If a
user logs in via the Telnet without password, he will see the prompt “password required, but none set.”.

[Quidway] user-interface vty 0
[Quidway-ui-vty0] set authentication password simple xxxx (xxxx is the preset login
password of Telnet user)
Step 2: The user logs in the Telnet Client (Ethernet switch). For the login process, refer
to the section describing “Telnet PC to Ethernet Switch”.
Step 3: Perform the following operations on the Telnet Client:
<Quidway> telnet xxxx (xxxx can be the hostname or IP address of the Telnet Server. If
it is the hostname, the switch shall have the static resolution function.)
