Configuring Telnet
1
The minutes variable specifies 1 – 10 minutes. The default is 2 minutes.
Enabling or disabling Telnet access
By default, Telnet access is enabled on the system.
To disable Telnet access to a Brocade Virtual ADX, enter the following command.
Virtual ADX(config)#no telnet server
Syntax: [no] telnet server
Allowing Telnet access only to clients in a VLAN
You can allow Telnet access only to clients in a specific VLAN.
The following command configures the device to allow Telnet management access only to clients
connected to ports within port-based VLAN 10. Clients connected to ports that are not in VLAN 10
are denied management access.
Virtual ADX(config)#telnet server enable vlan 10
Syntax: [no] telnet server enable vlan vlan-id
Suppressing the rejection message
You can suppress the rejection message the device sends in response to a denied Telnet client.
If you enable suppression of the connection rejection message, a denied Telnet client does not
receive a message from the device. Instead, the denied client simply does not gain access.
To suppress the connection rejection message sent by the device to a denied Telnet client, enter
the following command.
Virtual ADX(config)#telnet server suppress-reject-message
Syntax: [no] telnet server suppress-reject-message
Defining Telnet timeout
By default, Telnet sessions do not time out (0 minutes).
To define how long a Telnet session can remain idle before it is timed out, enter the following
command.
Virtual ADX(config)#telnet timeout 120
Syntax: [no] telnet timeout minutes
Redirecting debug and ptrace output to a Telnet session
By default, the Brocade Virtual ADX sends the output for both the debug and ptrace commands to
the console. However, the output for these commands do not appear on a Telnet session. To
redirect this output to a Telnet session, use the ptrace term command in the Telnet session.
Virtual ADX#ptrace term
