Access
This procedure configures the console timer. It also enables and disables
Telnet access and SNMP access. To configure management access,
perform the following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Menu.
The System Menu is shown in Figure 5 on page 47.
2. From the System Menu, type 1 - Configure System.
The Configure System Menu is shown in Figure 9 on page 52.
3. From the Configure System Menu, type 1 - Configure System
Software.
The Configure System Software Menu is shown in Figure 10 on
page 53.
4. To configure the console timer, type 2 - Console Disconnect Timer
Interval and, when prompted, enter a value of from 1 to 60 minutes.
Then press Return. The default is 10 minutes.
For example, if you specify 2 minutes, the AT-S60 management
software automatically ends a management session if it does not
detect any activity from the local or remote management station
after 2 minutes.
5. To enable or disable Telnet access, type 5 to toggle the selection
Telnet Server between enabled, which is the default, and disabled.
Note
Disable Telnet access if you are using the SSH (Secure Shell) feature.
(The SSH feature is not available on all versions of the AT-S60
management software.)
6. To configure SNMP access, type 8 to select Configure SNMP. See
Chapter 4, SNMP Community Strings on page 68 for details.
If you disable SNMP access, no one can manage the switch
remotely using an SNMP management program.
7. After making changes, type R until you return to the Main Menu. Then
type S to select Save Configuration Changes.
Your changes are immediately activated on the switch.
