      OK so still dealing with an issue here (Yealink Device management Platform). I have telnet installed and enabled and running.

      I have firewall-cmd configured and loaded.

      0_1528378573637_putty_2018-06-07_08-25-28.png

      From Windows however I am unable to connect to the server using telnet (yes the client is installed).

      What else am I missing here?

        I just figured it out, it's using the default port. 23 rather than the port I thought I added correctly.

          Try to disable SELinux with the command "setenforce 0"

            That doesn't correct the issue either.

              What if you create an IPTable forwarding from that 9090 port to the internal port 23? Does that work?

                  Actually, something along this lines might be good:

                    @dbeato I'm already reading it, but systemd fails to restart the service with

                      For the firewall rules this is what I would use:

                      firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=9009/tcp --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload
semanage port -a -t telnetd_port_t -p tcp 9099

                      Also are you modifying the following file?
                      /usr/lib/systemd/system/telnet.socket

                              @dbeato I've even modified the predefined service at /usr/lib/firewalld/services/telnet.xml to use port 9090 and the service still fails to load.

                                And I got the port forwarding to work.

                                firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-forward-port=port=9090:proto=tcp:toport=23

                                I can now telnet to my server on port 9090 (which forward to 23).
