telnet to server from F5

I have a F5 big-ip 4200 on code version 11.4 and I cannot seem to telnet to anything over a specific port. I am using route domains so I was following this article:   http://support.f5.com/kb/en-u...

If you are running version 11 it's much easier 😉

Enter the following command:

rdsh  (e.g. rdsh 3)

Then you are in the context of your route domain and you can normally perform your telnet:

telnet 172.28.141.168 453

You can leave the context just with an "exit".

Ciao Stefan 🙂
