(Join to see) Many of these switches are older models and have already been pulled from military inventory, if the command is staying current with lifecycle and security replacements.
I am sure many are not and TELNET is a base IP function, so this is a problem.
Thanks for posting to make people aware.

Actually if you follow security best practices telnet should be disabled in favor of SSH. Telnet has been too easy to hack for almost a decade now.
