You can only telnet to a device if its network ports are operationally up.
Just like in the real world, this is only the case for each port, if its administrative status is up and its neighbor device is running (in the case of directly connected links). If you start the entire lab, all devices should satisfy this and you should be able to telnet into any of the devices. If you start just one device in the lab, you will likely not be able to telnet in.
But, each Cisco device in the lab also has Console access.
In most aspects the Telnet and console access will be the same, except most noteably in
We will use Telnet access and console access interchangeably throughout. If you are stuck at some point using telnet or console, switch to the other access method.
If you want to continue using this telnet window, you need to raise it again, eg. by clicking on its icon in the bottom taskbar of your window manager.
Of course, you can have multiple telnet sessions open to any device simulation, but just like in the real world, you can only have one console session open.
