When you have filled in the form, select OK.
Options for the access methods are:
Serial Port
Enabled/Disabled
To prevent access to the management
facilities via the serial port, disable access to the facility for each access
level. Serial Port access for

is enabled and cannot be changed.
This prevents accidental disabling of all access levels from
management.
Remote Telnet
Enabled/Disabled
Telnet is an insecure protocol. You
may want to disable all access to the management facilities via Telnet if
there is important or sensitive data on your network.
