Unable to configure switch from telnet

Unable to configure switch from telnet

I’m trying to telnet into a switch stack to configure a few ports, but when I do I get a completely different CLI than I’m used to. Its only for one stack as well, any other of my closets I want to connect to in PuTTY works just fine. 

On the switches i’m trying to configure I get this prompt when I log in

telnet session telnet0 on /dev/ptyb0

This doesn’t show up on any other switch I log into. How do I fix this so that I can configure switchports like normal?

Sorry if this is worded poorly or confusing, I’ve literally never encountered anything like this before.

Based on you getting the > instead of the # it looks like you are telnetting into a non-master. Is the IP address pointed at a MGMT port?

 

You can confirm this by using the “show stacking” command and see which slot is the master then telnet into that slot from the same interface “telnet slot <slot#>”

Here are the two switches, the top window is the type of CLI i’m used to working with, the bottom is the switches I’m trying to configure. I can’t go in on the bottom switch and do the standard >Enable >Configure Terminal >Interface Serial S0/0/0 like I can the top switch(Top and bottom regarding the windows in the picture)

leclair,

I suggest to compare the output the show management on the two types of switches.

No that’s not what I’m asking about. I’m only stating that it shows up on the switch stack I’m unable to configure normally. I wasn’t sure if that was something that shows up when in a specific configuration or not so I added it to see if it helped
