# ⁣⁣td command (Telnet daemon)

### Description <a href="#id-tdcommand-telnetdaemon-description" id="id-tdcommand-telnetdaemon-description"></a>

Telnet daemon makes it possible to remotely configure and manage a router, and more generally to execute any operation system commands in the same way as it is done through the console port.

Telnet daemon starts automatically when the router is switched on.

**Syntax:**

```
td {enable | disable} RHOST[/MASKLEN]
td start | stop | flush | [no]log
```
