service
The type of service that the user will use.
sess-timer
The amount of time, in seconds, that the session timer will run. Use this timer to
forcibly close a user’s session (connection). When the session timer expires, the Device
Server will end the connection. The default value is
0
(zero), meaning that the session
timer will not expire (the session is open permanently, or until the user logs out). The
maximum value is 4294967
seconds. The
User Session Timer
will override the
Line
Session Timer
, with the exception of reverse Telnet sessions.
port
When the
User Service
is
Telnet
, this is the target port number. The default value will
change based on the type of
Service
selected; the most common known port numbers
are used as the default values.
Description Sets user’s settings. Normal-level users can configure only their own settings.
Admin-level users can configure any user’s settings, including their own (with the
exception of their User Level, which must stay at Admin).
