- telnet into localhost (on the device)
telnet 127.0.0.1 2222 enable(No output given on enable. Press return to se prompt.)?to see the menu.configureto enter global config mode.- While typing a command, list the available options by adding a
?at the end. E.g.show ?presents a list with all things that can be shown, one of which ispoe;show poe ?lists all things that can be shown regarding PoE.
