telnetting out of AVI

[newbie4]

Hello,

we're migrating from the F5s to the AVIs and were wondering if there was a way to telnet from the AVI CLI - we've tried from both, the Controller and the SE, but could not find a way.

Thanks.

You can execute curl commands to check connectivity status

Hi

You can do it from both.

For Controller it will be done from bash. For the Service Engine, you will need to be in the correct namespace and use netcat as telnet not available.

Thanx

Thanks for your response.

We need to interrogate the specific ports the back-end servers are listening on from the AVI, and I do not believe this could be done using curl..

Thanks.

Thanks for your response. Unless I am missing smth here, I've tried telnetting from the controller's bash, but to no avail:

admin@ADFRT-RTRT-02:~$ telnet 8.8.8.8
bash: telnet: command not found

Thanks.

Telnet is not available on the system.

Need to use netcat, example below:
echo "" | nc 1.1.1.1 1001
