Hi Richai,

Thanks for your confirmation.

Please upgrade to 6.3.1.19 if switches are GS724Tv4.

The new firmware enhanced the feature just you want(Remote Diagnostics)

Please reference following guide to upgrade:

I have Netgear XS712T and it does not have remote diagnostic option to disable.

I want to disable Telnet on this Switch due as it shows port 60000/Telnet open.

I am using 6.1.0.33 Firmware

Is there any other way to disable the Remote Diagnostic/Telnet

Hi santoshs,

Welcome to the NETGEAR Community! 🙂

Since there is no Remote Diagnostics in GUI this means what you have is XS712Tv1. To disable Telnet access you can instead run the command below to set the number of Telnet connections to "0" users:

(XS712T) >enable

(XS712T) #telnetcon maxsessions 0

    Hi santoshs,
    
    You may connect to one of the ethernet ports. Then using terminal emulator open a Telnet session to the switch IP address using port 60000.
