We have a production server at a client site running AIX. And recently when users are trying to connect to it via telnet, it prompts "No more multiple IP addresses to connect".
Can I know what does this error mean? and how to rectify this?
Thanks.

Sounds like a configuration problem or hitting some limit. A bit more info would be nice like:
ifconfig -a
netstat -r
netstat -i
Did you do any configuration changes before the error showed up? Besides the problem, isn't ssh an option? telnet is not a tad secure.
When posting the output of the commands above, be so kind and use
```text
and

tags
to enhance readability etc. thanks.
Below are the outputs for each commands
# netstat -r
