telnet

This command invokes a Telnet session from the device towards a remote host for remote management. A remote administrator can access the device’s CLI from the WAN leg while performing the full authentication process. The administrator can then invoke Telnet sessions towards other devices in the LAN to manage them. No special pin-holes or forwarding rules need be declared to manage them.
