Telnet command is not working in Virtual Appliance

[Santhakumar (Shantha Kumar)]

Hi all,

Is it possible to use telnet command in the virtual appliance?
I have used the telnet command in VA but it shows an error [-bash: telnet: command not found]
Is there any way to install telnet in VA?

Thanks in advance.

The Virtual Appliance Troubleshooting Guide includes a “TB session/package commands” section with some details on adding packages to the Toolbox container.

In this case, you can run apk update and then apk add --no-cache inetutils-telnet to install telnet within Toolbox:
