Telnet client and IPv6 Loading

We know that IPv6 is the topic of our next-generation Internet, and it must be compatible with the use of this Protocol for Telnet clients. Now let's explain how to enable the Telnet client to have IPv6 functions. Next, let's take a closer look.

Use IPv6 with the Telnet Client

Application to: Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista

The Telnet Server and Telnet Client versions attached to Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 support TCP/IP versions 6. in addition to parsing the host name as an IPv6 address and specifying an IPv6 address in the connection command, the host name does not change the Telnet mode in any way.

You can use any user account to complete this process. Please view the details in "Other considerations" on this topic.

Connect to the Telnet server using IPv6

You can use either of the following methods to perform this process:

At the command prompt
