Telnet Settings
You can access the onboard configuration program over the network using
Telnet (i.e., a virtual terminal). Management access via Telnet can be
enabled/disabled and other various parameters set, including the TCP port
number, timeouts, and a password. These parameters can be configured
via the web or CLI interface.
Command Attributes
Telnet Status – Enables or disables Telnet access to the switch.
(Default: Enabled)
Telnet Port Number – Sets the TCP port number for Telnet on the
switch. (Default: 23)
Login Timeout – Sets the interval that the system waits for a user to
log into the CLI. If a login attempt is not detected within the timeout
interval, the connection is terminated for the session. (Range: 0-300
seconds; Default: 300 seconds)
Exec Timeout – Sets the interval that the system waits until user input
is detected. If user input is not detected within the timeout interval, the
current session is terminated. (Range: 0-65535 seconds; Default: 600
seconds)
Password Threshold – Sets the password intrusion threshold, which
limits the number of failed logon attempts. When the logon attempt
threshold is reached, the system interface becomes silent for a specified
amount of time (set by the Silent Time parameter) before allowing the
next logon attempt. (Range: 0-120; Default: 3 attempts)
Available in CLI only:
•Password – Specifies a password for the line connection. When a
connection is started on a line with password protection, the system
prompts for the password. If you enter the correct password, the
system shows a prompt. (Default: No password)
