11.2.3.7 Configuring Telnet Session Page

Selection Criteria

Maximum Number of Telnet Sessions - Use the pulldown menu to select how many simultaneous
telnet sessions will be allowed. The maximum is 5, which is also the factory default.

Allow New Telnet Sessions - If you set this to no, new telnet sessions will not be allowed. The
factory default is yes.

Telnet Server Admin Mode - Administrative mode for inbound telnet sessions. Setting this value to
disable shuts down the telnet port. If the admin mode is set to disable, then all existing telnet
connections are disconnected. The default value is Enable.

Configurable Data

Telnet Session Timeout (minutes) - 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.

Password Threshold - When the logon attempt threshold is reached on the console port, the
system interface becomes silent for a specified amount of time before allowing the next logon
attempt. (Use the silent time command to set this interval.) When this threshold is reached for Telnet,
the Telnet logon interface closes. The default value is 3.

Command Buttons

Submit - Update the switch with the values on the screen. If you want the switch to retain the new
values across a power cycle you must perform a save.
