Enabling or Disabling the Telnet Server

This procedure explains how to enable or disable the Telnet server on the
switch. You might disable the server to prevent individuals from managing
the switch with the Telnet application protocol or if you intend to use the
Secure Shell (SSH) protocol.

Note

You cannot disable the Telnet server if there is an active Telnet
management session on the switch.

To enable or disable the Telnet server, do the following procedure:

1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Administration.

The System Administration menu is shown in Figure 4 on page 52.

2. From the System Administration menu, type 3 to select Console

(Serial/Telnet) Configuration.

The Console (Serial/Telnet) Configuration menu is shown in Figure 9
on page 65.

3. Type 4 to toggle Telnet Server between Enabled and Disabled. The

default is enabled.

A change to the Telnet server is immediately activated on the switch.

4. After making the change, type R until you return to the Main Menu.

Then type S to select Save Configuration Changes.
