Hi,

Thanks for your kindly response.
I tried both

telnet fe80::240:5ff:fe34:d97f%eth0 -l username /*  link-local */

and

telnet fec0::1:240:5ff:fe34:d97f -l username /*  site-local */

Now, I received the "Connection refused" error. Am I missing
anything? Thanks.

Yang

Well-known issue: usage of link-local addresses in application is not
really a good choice because of missing scope.

Try to append something like %<interface> at the address, perhaps it works.
If not, configure a global or a site-local address.
