Telnet Authentication List
This page allows you to select the login and enable authentication list available. The login list
specifies the authentication method(s) you want used to validate switch or port access for the
users associated with the list. The enable list specifies the authentication method(s) you want
used to validate privileged EXEC access for the users associated with the list. These list can
be created by Authentication List page under Management Security.
1. Use Login Authentication List to specify which authentication list to use when you login
through telnet. The default value is networkList.
2. Use Enable Authentication List to specify which authentication list you are using when
going into the privileged EXEC mode. The default value is enableList.
Inbound Telnet Configuration
This page regulates new telnet sessions. If Allow New Telnet Sessions are enabled, new
inbound telnet sessions can be established until there are no more sessions available. If
Allow New Telnet Sessions are disabled, no new inbound telnet sessions are established. An
established session remains active until the session is ended or an abnormal network error
ends the session.
1. Use Allow New Telnet Sessions to specify whether the new Inbound Telnet session is
Enabled or Disabled. Default value is Enabled.
2. Use Session Timeout to specify how many minutes of inactivity should occur on a telnet
session before the session is logged off. You may enter any number from 1 to 160. The
factory default is 5.
3. Use Maximum Number of Sessions to select how many simultaneous telnet sessions will
be allowed. The maximum is 5, which is also the factory default.
4. Current Number of Sessions - Displays the number of current sessions.
