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 Reena,
There is no console port on XS712T.
How to access console on XS712T?
Thanks for your help
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.

THanks for your help..
If I disable the telnet port from the terminal, is it possible to enable it back again and how?
as I do not see any option for telnet in GUI.
Hello santoshs,
Once change has been made, a factory reset has to be performed to be able to connect to the switch via Telnet again. As this will delete all configuration, I suggest to save the config file first before making any changes. This way you would be able load the config file (with Telnet enabled) in case you need to re-enable Telnet access.
Have a lovely day,
